Longtime favorite Wichita store reopens in Bradley Fair on Friday

Pink Saloon/Assembly 19 Clothing Boutique are reopening in their new space at Bradley Fair on Friday.

Jill Hattan moved her popular stores to the former Apricot Lane space and is celebrating their reopening in a few ways.

All guests will receive 25% off of one item on Friday, and there will be an Una Vida Tequila sampling from 4 to 6 p.m.

There also will be a showcase of art from Wichita Collegiate School on display.

Previously, Hattan said she first started talking to Bradley Fair developer George Laham about wanting to open a retail clothing and furniture store when he was building the shopping center in the early 1990s, but the timing never worked out.

Pink Saloon originally opened in El Dorado in 2006. In 2009, its owner moved it to Douglas and Oliver before relocating it in 2014 to Waterfront Plaza, at the northwest corner of 13th and Webb. Hattan bought the store in 2020, calling it a “passion project.”

In September, she added men’s clothing to the shop and named that side of the store Assembly 19.

Pink Saloon and Assembly 19 will be under one roof but will occupy opposite sides of the new space.

“We just love the Bradley Fair idea of, number one, being next to YaYa’s, which should give us a little more foot traffic than we get,” Hattan said in May.

“And we do a lot community wise, and so does Bradley Fair. It’s a good combination.”
