My name is Lisa Avery. Chris (my hubby) and I have been married for 15 years. We have 6 children and a cat! While my husband has been growing a thriving chain of businesses, I have been successfully involved in various retail-based adventures of my own for approximately 6 years.
 
Nicole's is a privately owned business "birthed" from a need to solve two problems. Problem #1: Having five of those six babies myself, I understand needing to “hide” some things. I know how frustrating and traumatic it is to go swimsuit shopping, only to be embarrassed about my shape and finding nothing to fit me! Problem #2: Service was virtually nonexistent. Having no clue where to even start looking, no one was ever available or willing to invest any time or effort in helping me to attain my desire to "suit up."
 
So, having a clear and painful understanding of the shortcomings of the retail industry, I thought I could eliminate these two problems and offer a personalized shopping experience in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Hey! If I can run a household with 6 children (five of them are boys), I can figure out how to run a store that caters to my kind of (girly) needs, right?
 
Some people think I am crazy for taking on a swimsuit project. (I never claimed to be sane! After 6 kids, COME ON!) It is a big project, but so far I have had a blast and I am excited about the opportunity to serve you! I think women (and our needs) are sometimes overlooked. I want to fix that! Plus, I have a need to make the world around me beautiful and the people in it, too! That can’t be wrong, can it?

 

Testimonials

"I was very impressed when I stopped in your store. One of the prettiest swimwear stores I have been in.
( and as this is my 30th year selling ladies swimwear I have been in a couple!)"

"For the longest time, I hated to go bathing suit shopping. The cute suits I did find either didn't fit up top, or the bottoms were too low cut. It wasn't until I found Nicole's that I came to love getting new bathing suits! Nicole's is a place I can go, find a stylish two piece, that both pieces fit to the shape of my body. I can have the cute suit that doesn't reveal too much up top and fit just right with the bottoms. It was so easy going to Nicole's and getting the help I needed. Lisa helped me find which style bathing suit went with my body and when she didn't have it in her store; she didn't hesitate ordering what I needed. It was so much fun going in there that this is my second summer getting swim suits there and I have come to consider Lisa a dear friend."

"I have bought my swimsuits from Nicole’s the last two years, and I will not bother going anywhere else, EVER!  The total experience of buying a swimsuit is now enjoyable, whereas it’s never been before.  And, the bonus is, all her swimwear and accessories beautiful!  From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave with your perfectly fitting swimsuit, is an experience like none other.  No matter what your needs are, or the fact all us women are self conscious in some shape or form,  Lisa and her staff have a way of making you feel beautiful.  We all need a little of that!  Thanks Lisa!  I have several special needs in finding the perfect fit and Nicole’s solved my problem. So, all I can say is, go to Nicole’s Swimwear for a great experience, then, go tell all your girlfriends!"
