ake a husband and wife team
with some 40 years of retail
experience in the furniture
industry, a community-oriented spirit
and a yearning for a new challenge
in the burgeoning baby business, and
you've got the makings for a unique
new outlet, Beautiful Beginnings Baby
Boutique and More.
The store, at 29875 Northwestern
Highway in Southfield's Applegate
Center, is one of several new shops
added to the revitalized retail area.
Judith Debra Stern, known as
"Debbie," and her husband, Mickey,
of Orchard Lake, opened Beautiful
Beginnings in July. They've been mar-
ried 42 years and, for most of those
years, worked together in Debbie's
family-owned furniture business,
Moss & Associates in Dearborn.
They served the Orthodox Jewish
and Chaldean communities with a
45-employee staff.
"When we closed the Dearborn
store, the void was noticed," said
Detroit native Debbie. "Our Jewish
and non-Jewish customers were ask-
ing where they could buy both adult
and children's furniture.
"I've always had a passion for
children's furniture," she continued.
"When our daughter Natalie wanted
to open a children's store in Florida,
we were very supportive. After we
sold our business, I went to help her
start her store, Rooms for a Prince
and Princess, in Boca Raton. Then we
came back to Michigan to open our
own boutique, near the communities
we served in the past and close to my
friends:'
Mickey, the Yugoslavian-born son
of Holocaust survivors, added, "We
chose the Southfield location because
it's convenient for all our clientele.
Now, the challenge is to get the word
out that we're here. We use social
media, but word-of-mouth advertis-
ing is the most important to reach
our previous clients and to bring new
customers to our store
