MODE is a designer outlet in a boutique environment and Home of the $40 Designer Jean. We are a Fargo, ND based company and currently have 12 locations across the Midwest and SC. MODE is unique in that is take the outlet concept and merges it with a boutique environment to make it a special shopping experience, unlike any other.
An upscale, girlie, always in style boutique where the owner desired to give her customers the ultimate shopping experience - and even know them by name!
It did not take long for the word to spread, and soon Monkee’s of Wilmington was a destination! A second store was opened only a short time later in Winston-Salem, North Carolina by Brenda Maready, the co-owner of Monkee’s Franchising, LLC. The Monkee’s brand has become synonymous with personalized customer service and cutting edge designer fashion. Instead of shopping at big department stores, customers travel to Monkee’s for an intimate shopping experience. At Monkee’s, it has never been just about the sale; it’s about helping a friend walk out feeling beautiful and looking her best.
