Quiet Storm Surf Shop Announces New Store Opening at The Villages of Five Points

Lewes—April 7, 2005. One of the area’s favorite full service surf shops, Quiet Storm, will be opening their newest store in the Town Center of The Villages of Five Points at the corner of Savannah Road and Route One in Lewes. Owners Dale and Kelly Loeser plan to open the shop, which will replicate the larger downtown Rehoboth Beach store, in mid-May, just in time for the summer season. A local’s favorite since 1995, the Villages of Five Points location will carry an extensive selection of surf gear, clothing and footwear for the entire family. A wide range of clothing lines, including Tommy Bahama, eliza B, Free People, Life is Good will be featured alongside surfer mainstays such as Quicksilver, Billabong, Roxy and Volcom. The store also promises to be the best place to find much-loved Reef and Rainbow sandals and the hip spring styles of Ugg.

Customer demand precipitated the opening of the new Quiet Storm location at the Villages of Five Points. Over the years, the Loeser’s have had many regular Lewes customers ask them to open another branch in Lewes due to the heavy summer traffic in downtown Rehoboth. “When we found the space available in the downtown district of the Villages of Five Points, we felt it offered both a very convenient location and ample parking for the growing portion of our customer base in this area,” said Mrs. Loeser.

Dale and Kelly Loeser came to the Rehoboth Beach area after college to live the coveted beach lifestyle while making a living outside of the competitive corporate world. Combining Dale’s passion for surfing with Kelly’s retail management experience, the Quiet Storm Surf Shop brand was born. The business allows the couple the flexibility required to raise their two children, daughter Tierney and son Luke. “We are very excited about this new location of Quiet Storm at the Villages of Five Points and are looking forward to our grand opening in May,” said Dale. This Quiet Storm Surf Shop will be managed by Karen Collins, a long time employee. For additional information please call 302-227-2747.

The Villages of Five Points Town Center now features a diverse mix of businesses, including Fish On!, Bad Hair Day? salon, Java Beach Bagel Company, and Seaside Interiors as well as the new Quiet Storm shop. For more information on retail opportunities at this location, please contact Robin Davis at 302-645-9464.

Seaside Interiors to open at the Villages of Five Points Town Center
Upscale design center will make a splash with coastal décor and much more

As the Town Center at the Villages of Five Points in Lewes continues to develop into a thriving downtown district over the next few months, Steve Travers of Seaside Interiors is thrilled to be opening his second store location there this fall. The original Seaside Interiors business in Ocean City opened three years ago and has quickly become a mainstay in that community for fashionable interior design. Travers and his wife Gwen had been looking for over two years for the perfect location in which to open a second shop when they heard about the Villages of Five Points’ downtown district. “We think the Town Center at Five Points will provide the ideal atmosphere to showcase Seaside Interiors’ custom design philosophy and full service capabilities,” said Travers. “With Fish On, Bad Hair Day, and more shops on the way, this downtown district is going to be a terrific shopping and restaurant destination in the area.”

For Steve Travers, owning and operating Seaside Interiors has truly been a labor of love. Following his father’s untimely death in 1968 while in the process of opening his own textiles shop, a dream he never fulfilled, Steve always knew he would see that dream through some how, some day. In 2001 he did just that when along with wife Gwen they opened their Ocean City store with a mission to provide stylish interior décor for any budget or project size. In fact, Seaside Interiors also carries retail items ranging from a $5.00 embroidered linen guest towel to a $3,000 elaborate imported armoire. The new location in Lewes will also offer free in-home design, imported one-of-a-kind furniture and decor, special orders, and extensive window treatments. In addition, when the 3,600-square foot space at Five Points opens this fall, Seaside Interiors plans to host home-improvement seminars on trendy decorating and design ideas as well as house the works of local artists.

Seaside Interiors’ plans to involve the local community through interior design seminars and specialized guest speakers at their new store should blend perfectly with their surroundings at the Town Center of Five Points. The new downtown district features an architectural design reminiscent of old town charm complete with apartments above the businesses, plenty of parking, and beautiful landscaping. “One of the reasons we chose the Town Center at Five Points for our new location was the quality of the neighboring businesses,” Steve Travers explained. “We’re excited to work with the other business owners in the Town Center to retain and build upon the hometown charm of this area for years to come.”

For more information on Seaside Interiors, please call 410-250-7097.

The Little Salon With a Big Heart
Bad Hair Day Salon Works to Make a Difference in the Community

Nikki Bucci sat perfectly still, gripping the hands of her daughter, as the last piece of hair fell from her head. She took the small mirror off the nearby table and gazing into it, saw the beautiful, strong face of a survivor. Bucci, 58 years old, recently had surgery to remove a cancerous breast tumor and will shortly be starting a 22-week chemotherapy/radiation course at Muhlenburg Hospital in Bethlehem, PA. Well aware of the side effects caused by chemotherapy, she had decided to take back control of the situation. Instead of waiting for her hair to thin or fall out, she had her head shaved at Bad Hair Day Salon in Rehoboth Beach, DE, on June 15, 2004. Her daughter, Giancarla Churchman, a graphic designer in Rehoboth Beach, also had her head shaved at the salon that day to show support for her mother. Lewis Drexel Davison, owner of the salon, had organized and supervised an entire regimen of beauty treatments for the duo that day, from pedicures and manicures to facials and massages. Finally, he personally shaved the women’s heads for them, providing much appreciated comic relief and support throughout the process. This type of thoughtful service and care continues a little known, six-year tradition at Bad Hair Day Salon of providing assistance, beauty treatments, and love to people challenged by cancer.

Drexel Davison opened Bad Hair Day in 1994 and it has quickly grown to become one of the most successful salons in Delaware. Recruiting 24 top stylists and aestheticians, Davison now maintains a hip, stylish, and high energy atmosphere which has fueled the salon’s continuing success. About six years ago, Davison’s mother approached her son with the idea of using some of the salon’s resources to help people diagnosed with cancer. Davison immediately took the idea to his staff who wholeheartedly agreed and the team signed up with Beebe Hospital’s Look Good – Feel Better cancer program. After learning the basics about the illness, Davison started Miracle Mondays at the salon, and for three years on the first Monday of the month, provided beauty treatments specifically for people dealing with the different stages of cancer. After three years, Miracle Mondays had become such a huge success that Davison rented the community room at a local development and weekly, participants in the Mondays met to provide additional support to each other throughout their ordeals. Davison has now taken the internal momentum behind Miracle Mondays and put it behind supporting Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children.

Currently, in addition to running the highly successful salon in Rehoboth Beach and working with Locks of Love as well as with people dealing with cancer, Davison is opening a second location in September in the Villages of Five Points downtown district. The Villages of Five Points, located at the corner of Savannah Road and Route One in Lewes, is the first community in this area to offer a true downtown living experience where residents can easily walk to shops and restaurants. Davison’s new salon will be an excellent addition to the neighborhood and will reflect the stylish downtown district with an industrial loft décor. Three other new locations are also planned in Washington D.C. area over the next two years. “We try to live by our mission,” says Davison, “To care for the world we live in, transforming ourselves and others through beauty internally as well as externally.” If the smiling faces and positive attitudes exuded by Nikki Bucci and Giancarla Churchman as they left Bad Hair Day Salon are any indication, Davison’s mission is well on its way to being accomplished.
