The Liberty House boutique at 416 N. Whitewoman Street in Roscoe Village is developing a new website to cater to regular shoppers and attract new visitors to the village.

Liberty House joins River Ridge Leather Company in a new online effort to promote Roscoe Village as one of the most unique shopping, dining and travel destinations in the entire Midwest.

“Simply put, Roscoe Village is a gem and we don’t intend to keep it a secret any longer,” said Liberty House proprietor Becky Lowe. 

“Roscoe Village is a wonderful shopping destination and a truly enjoyable experience all year long, with charming shops and unique attractions in a beautiful setting unlike any other place in the country.  We welcomed a terrific crowd to our Candle Lighting Ceremony last weekend and several million more people in Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh live within a two-hour drive of our village.  We intend to redouble our efforts to invite them to the Village all twelve months of the year.”

“We’re going to kick off the new year with our annual New Year’s Day Sale, when everything in our store is 50% off.  Then we’ll work diligently to launch our new website in time for Valentine’s Day and early spring shoppers,” Lowe continued. 

“Embracing technology enables us to help our customers find us when they want to, 24 hours a day, in every place they can access the Internet.  We will update our new site with our newest arrivals each fashion and shopping season and allow customers to visit us both here in the store and from the comfort of their homes.  Roscoe Village is wonderful place to visit, no matter how you choose to get here.”

A specialty retailer for 30 years, with strong roots in the community, Becky Lowe expressed her continuing commitment and devotion to Roscoe Village.  ”We adore Roscoe Village as much as the hundreds of thousands of others who have discovered its charm over the past 40 years.  We look forward to keeping in contact with them and helping them keep Roscoe Village in their plans all year long.”
