Both Sharla and George have a deep love for McKinney and the preservation of its historic past. The Historic Downtown has always intrigued them. Purchasing and remodeling several buildings over the years has been a rewarding experience as they have watched the Downtown become a vibrant part of McKinney's culture once again.

Sharla believes small retail establishments are the back bone of our culture and preserving that opportunity for generations to come is crucial. After being a stay at home mom for 24 years she opened Sharla's Cosmetic and Bath Boutique in the Ritz Theater Building in August 2004. She is passionate about bringing the finest quality products to McKinney and offering exceptional service.
