Jane Lavey, owner of Giddyup Jane women's boutique, works behind the counter on Sunday, May 17, 2020, in preparation of reopening her Ladue retail shop next week if only for a short time. Since closing her store to customers in mid March due to the coronavirus pandemic, Lavey has announced to her customers that she will close for good in mid June after about 11 years in business at 9670 Clayton Rd. With St. Louis County's stay-at-home orders expiring on Monday, Lavey will open her boutique with limited hours to hold clearance sales and fill online orders until she shuts the doors permanently. Lavey says that the closure was scheduled before the pandemic "It's a strange position to be reopening to close again...but that's what's happening," she said.
