Lady Grace Boutique to move to former Rewound Sounds space in Delano

WICHITA — Lady Grace Boutique in Delano is moving, but not far.

“We want to move east of Seneca so we are actually in the heart of Delano,” says manager Tory Mayer.

The shop opened in late 2010 in 700 square feet at 1316 W. Douglas, which is west of Seneca.

“I think people think Delano stops after Seneca,” Mayer says.

The new space is at 810 W. Douglas in the former Rewound Sounds space, which is about 2,400 square feet.

“It’s huge,” Mayer says of the two-story building.

She and her mother-in-law, Jodie Mayer, who owns the shop, will use the second story for storage.

The shop, which sells women’s apparel, accessories, purses, jewelry, shoes and boots and some home decor, will be on the first floor.

Tory Mayer says they like that there will be more parking at the new store, which opens April 19, and that it will be closer to other businesses.

“I just think we’ll get a better traffic flow over there,” she says.

“The opportunity came up, and we’re taking it.”

Accent Bridal & Tux is moving to Delano

WICHITA — Accent Bridal & Tux is moving, but it will remain on Douglas.

In fact, each of the store’s three moves have always been to space on Douglas.

“Douglas is our address, I guess,” says Tricia Bell, who owns the business with her brother-in-law, Scott, and mother-in-law, Vivian.

Bell’s daughter-in-law, Audra, also works there.

When Accent Bridal opened more than 23 years ago, it was at 3540 W. Douglas. It’s been just down the street from there at 3940 W. Douglas, which is at Douglas and West, for the last 16 years.

Now, it’s moving to 817 W. Douglas in Delano where Rewound Sounds used to be. That store is now across the street at 810 W. Douglas.

“We just think the Delano district is an up-and-coming place, and we think it’s going to be a great place to have a bridal shop,” Tricia Bell says.
