The Encounter
High Fashion Shopping Right Here in the
Tri-Cities
Nestled in a cove near the Greenbelt walking trail is one of the most exciting
women's clothing stores in the Tri-Cities. It is called The Encounter and
is located just off Eastman Road, in the hub of Kingsport's business sector.
After more than
27 years in retail, The Encounter understands the fashion needs
of women. Newcomers to the area are often surprised to find this New
York-style boutique right here in this great mountain region. Immediately
upon entering the store, designer clothing from professional to formal in every
color imaginable can be found at every turn.
The working woman is really in luck this year, suiting is stylish and
clean. Even the most updated designs offer a variety of colors ----- red,
navy, black, teal, blue, gray, yellow, and pink. Skirt lengths vary from
the very short 17-inch to the longest 39-inch. And jacket styling gives
more detailed lapels, bodice fronts, and sleeve lengths. Traditional long
sleeves and comfy summer conscious sleeveless suiting are offered.
"In my profession, I am constantly required to present myself at business
meetings, in a performance venue, and at international events. It is
imperative that I am well groomed and on the cutting edge of fashion. The
Encounter understands my needs, Ethel completely clothed me when I
represented the United States in Paris. I know I can count on them,"
said Karen Gibbons-Brown, Executive Artistic Director ----- Fort Wayne
Ballet, Fort Wayne, IN.

"history of fashion." The needs of women and their wardrobing
have changed. For those who are discouraged with today's self-service
economy, you will be delighted with the personal attention the capable staff
provides to each customer.
