A popular area women's boutique is back open after being forced to close for several weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Like other businesses, Chateau Christine in downtown Meadville lost of lot of revenue during the closing.

But the owner started on-line and Facebook live sales and they became so popular they are continuing.

Employee Kathy Bouslough said, "It has grown every week. So we can see it expanding the business exponentially."

Of course most sales still happen at the store. with lots of extra precautions including cleaning and sanitizing.

Masks are mandatory.

And social distancing stressed, with appointments making that easier.

So far there has been no opposition from customers.

 Bouslough said, "They have been very responsible and accepting that this is normal for now. there has been no issue."
