Driving down Main Street, Frisco residents notice a new addition….three mannequins that change clothes daily.
The three mannequins are “employees” of the newly opened Good Steward Consignment Boutique.
Good Steward Owner Elizabeth Rimes said that she dresses her employees daily like they are going to a party.
“They go to a different party every day,” she said. “They dress for the weather and seasons too.”
The mannequins are reflections of what people can find in the store. Rimes calls the clothes in her store “trendy chic” and said the styles are constantly changing. 
This week alone she had one woman bring in four pair of designer sunglasses and another one bring in coach purses. Since it is consignment there is no telling how long any particular item will stay on the shelf or what will come in next.
“I am at the mercy of what people bring in,” Rimes said. “It’s really fun to see what people bring in. It is like opening presents every day.”
She said she has had a constant influx of inventory since she opened her doors in mid February. The store opened with items from her own closet and it has steadily grown since then
“I never really thought I would have a problem getting inventory,” Rimes said.
Something that she feels makes her store unique is that she has a men’s consignment section. She is the only men’s consignment store in Frisco and the North Dallas area. Among her specialty items available right now are Robert Graham shirts and a Versace suit.
She also carries woman’s designer clothing, shoes, accessories and infant/toddler attire.
Despite being a new store in Frisco she is not new to the fashion world or owning a business.
As a little girl Rimes watched and learned from her mom about the beauty of owning a thrift store. In her late twenties she spent four years working at Nordstrom’s learning about fine clothing and customer service and now in her thirties she has taking all of that knowledge and used it to open ‘The Good Steward Consignment Boutique.’
One of the most important things that she learned at Nordstrom’s that she wants to emphasize in her store is customer service.
Rimes strives to have the latest and up to date styles in fashion apparel. She also wants to make the whole experience of shopping a pleasant one.
She laid out the store to be spacious and well organized and has been complimented by clients on the layout.
She hope one day to be able to expand her store to include a coffee shop, book section and possibly even a television for the men. She wants her store to eventually be a shopping destination for the residents of Frisco and surrounding communities. For now she will start with small changes and additions. The next thing Rimes will be adding is a Web site, www.goodstewardconsigment.com
, that she hope to have up and running soon.
The boutique with its ever changing inventory will always be a place to visit.
“There are always treasures to be found,” Rimes said.
