History
Peaches Boutique was founded by Roy and Barb Surdej in 1984, beginning as a general women's clothing store. Women's casual clothing was gradually phased out while Peaches began to focus more specifically on designer dresses. Peaches was eventually re-branded as a prom, homecoming and special occasion dress and accessory shop.
Peaches keeps track of prom dress purchases and lets customers know before they try on a dress if that style has already been purchased by another prom attendee at that school. "We will not sell a girl a dress that has already been sold to a girl from their high school," said Jeff Surdej, store manager. "They can buy the dress in a different color, but everyone wants to have their own look."
