Elizabeth Knispel is delighted with the 704 Main St. storefront she and her husband, John, found for the women’s apparel shop they transplanted to Eudora.

“We love Main Street,” she said. “It’s an old building, and it’s perfect for our store concept. We’re happy to see Main Street grow.”

The name of the store is Twill Trade and could be found until Sept. 30 in Littleton, Colo., Knispel said. The couple kept the Colorado store open after they moved to Eudora a year ago when John Knispel got a job at the the University of Kansas’ Edwards Campus. They decided it was time to relocate the Littleton store when their manager recently resigned, she said.

“We decided it was time to make a fresh start in Eudora, so we brought the store with us,” she said.

Ninety percent of what the store carries is new women’s clothing that she orders from a number of U.S. vendors, but customers will find some vintage jewelry and handbags, Knispel said.

“My father does a lot of auctions,” she said. “The vintage jewelry and accessories are mostly from estate sales and things like that.”

Knispel said Twill Trade will be open for customers as soon as she secures a last city permit. She does plan a grand opening for Saturday, Nov. 4, at which the store will give away gift certificates, provide refreshments and have children’s activities.

In one sense Twill Trade is already open with its online presence, shoptwilltrade.com and twilltrade.com, Knispel said. She’ll now run the online part of the business, which started in 2013, out of the 704 Main St. storefront.

Twill Trade’s hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and by appointment on Monday and Tuesday.
