Southeast Michigan.
Thieu said she decided to
expand into Ann Arbor because
she thinks the city is a "great mar-
ket to go into."
"I like the college town, I like
the locals and the boutiques,"
Thieu said.
She also said students will
benefit from her store because it
offers a variety of styles and fash-
ions.
"I think a boutique that can
cater to all is unique and I think
that'll help us to stand out a little
bit," Thieu said.
Pink Pump isn't the only new
store to hit East Liberty Street.
This & That, a locally-owned
candy shop, opened about seven
weeks ago. Andrea Graef, the
owner of the store said she decid-
ed to open in Ann Arbor because
it offers a mix "between students,
local people and tourists."
"I wanted a little bit of every-
thing," she said.
The store offers more than 300
different kinds of candies and
other sweet items, according to
Graef. This variety will be espe-
cially appealing to students, she
said.
"I think they like it because
they can come in and buy as much
or as little as they like," Graef said.
In the upcoming months, Graef
said she is planning to introduce
online ordering, event catering
and even delivery to places like
the library during exam time.
But locally-owned businesses
are not the only ones flocking to
Ann Arbor, as chains are making
their way to the city as well.
@burger, owned by Big Boy
Restaurants, opened on East Lib-
erty Street about a month ago,
said Dave Crawford, senior vice-
president of marketing for @
burger, a "fast-casual" restaurant
serving burgers.
"Fast-casual burger is where
all of the energy is right now," he
said.
Crawford said there were
multiple factors that went into
choosing Ann Arbor as a loca-
tion, including the city's good
economic situation, the presence
of the University and Ann Arbor
culture.
@burger has a relaxed atmo-
sphere where students can come
unwind, Crawford said.
"You can kind of come in and
hang out," he said. "The seating is
built for comfort."
In the future students may also
be able to choose the restaurant's
music, and even have their iPods
play over the speakers, according
to Crawford.
Other new businesses like CVS/
pharmacy and Five Guys Burgers.
and Fries are opening on State
Street in the near future as well.
Inquiries sent to CVS Pharmacy
from The Michigan Daily went
unreturned.
