How Did Acy-Reé Get Started?

Hey everyone! Thanks for reading our blog. We're gonna keep this updated with all of our ventures and the whole process of starting our store.

Well, one day me(Stacy) and Tracy were walking around Owings Mills Mall going to Border's book store. On our way out of the mall we realized that there are no men's stores in this area. We were like "Where do guys shop at?" We were laughing about it andd then Tracy said we should open a men's clothing store and I was like yea! So we went to Barnes and Nobles and began researching how to open a retail business and things like that. So basically, it was an idea from us walking in the mall.

After that we called our friend Desiree and asked her if she wanted to do it with us and she agreed.

The name Acy-Reé came from our names combined. I combined "Acy" from me and Tracy's names and "Reé" from Desiree's name and hence "Acy-Reé!" We think is clever and cute. It sounds very upscale and its just cool. We can put "for Men," "for Women," "Intimates" etc behind the name when we start to expand. But for now we are going towards men.

What guy wouldn't want cute girls to give them advice on how they look and what they should wear?? lol

But anyway, that's how we got started and right now we are in the researching phase. We have a group on Facebook dedicated to getting feedback and information from men and women. Check it out! Search Acy-Reé Men's Clothing Research Group
