Spoken Boutique, located at 27 Church St., Saratoga Springs,is under new ownership.
Pam Worth created the business in 2010. With over 40 years of experience as a buyer and merchandiser, she made it her goal to provide an extraordinary customer experience for patrons of the boutique.
The new owner is Tina Powell.
“I am excited to announce that I am taking a step-back to start a new chapter in my life,” said Worth. “I have decided to transfer the continuation of my vision to someone I feel completely comfortable handing the reins over to—Tina Powell.”
Worth will work with Powell in the store as buyer, merchandiser and sales associate. She plans on spending extra time with her husband and family, with opportunities to travel.
“I feel privileged that Pam trusts me to carry on her legacy,” said Powell. “I have been working as a full-time employee at Spoken for the past year. During that time, I have grown to love our staff, our customers, our vendors, and of course the fabulous clothing. I am excited to have Pam by my side as I continue to build relationships and grow.”
Worth’s decision to launch her business in an off-Broadway location was facilitated by the incubator program offered by the Adirondack Trust Co. The program was initiated by the bank, to place first-time business owners in their storefront on Church Street at a fair price.
“I am very grateful to the Adirondack Trust Co. for the opportunity to grow in this beautiful space, while keeping my costs down and focusing on establishing my new business,” said Worth.
About coming on the scene as a new retailer in the Saratoga Community in 2010, Worth felt her prior experience working for Mabou in Saratoga in the early 1980s, in addition to Suttons Market Place in Queensbury for nearly three decades, equipped her with what she needed to take on the task.
“I found the local response to be positive from the start,” Worth said. “We presented unique choices that no one else offered. We welcomed our customers with warmth and honest customer service and they responded. I have customers who have been consistent since we opened. I am so appreciative and grateful for all my customers, the relationships we’ve created and the time we’ve shared over the past 13 years.”
In regard to Spoken, she said “I feel fortunate to have the satisfaction of looking back upon a successful venture. Going forward, I have every confidence that it will continue in the same way. I have found the right person to carry the torch. I look forward to helping Tina and to watching Spoken continue to prosper.”
