Francesca's to open in Algonquin Commons

ALGONQUIN – A new women's fashion boutique is coming to Algonquin Commons.

Francesca’s will be leasing out a 2,000-square-foot store at 1920 S. Randall Road, Suite 64, and will open on Friday.

A grand opening will be held from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, with the first 20 guests in line receiving gift cards.

The fashion chain sells trendy women’s apparel, jewelry, shoes and gifts at more than 690 locations nationwide, according to its website.

The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, boutique manager and district trainer Shannon Shoemaker said.

Francesca’s also has locations in Barrington, Deer Park and Vernon Hills. The Algonquin store previously was a Zale’s jewelry store and sits between Pac Sun and Express Men.

“We are excited to join the Algonquin area and think it will help add another option for all walks of life to come in, find gifts and be delightfully surprised with our merchandise,” Shoemaker said.
