EXTRA Information on HUBBA-HUBBA

Owners Ellen Freedman and Julie Schneider, also mother and daughter, have successfully operated this unique retail store since 1989. HUBBA-HUBBA has been so successful because mother and daughter have always try to keep ahead of fashion trends by traveling in search of designers who are on the brink of breaking into the mainstream.

In 1999, HUBBA-HUBBA moved to a new location designed by Borsuk And Company. The store is very romantic and filled with style and grace. The elegant designs, including crystal chandeliers, make shopping at HUBBA-HUBBA an enjoyable experience.
