Frock Boutique at 6500 Phinney Ave. N. closed on Dec. 31 after 1-1/2 years. It had replaced Frock Shop, which had been in that space for nearly nine years (Frock Shop moved exclusively online).
Frock Boutique is keeping its original Portland store on NE Alberta Street, and also has a new downtown Portland boutique at 902 SW Morrison. The owners tell me foot traffic and sales at the Seattle store were not what they had hoped.
