A new business is hosting a grand opening event today in Jefferson.

The Funky Zebra Boutique offers women’s clothing, along with accessories, shoes and home decor. Owner Meghan Von Behren also co-owns Funky Zebra locations in Coralville and Okoboji and the Jefferson location is at 205 North Wilson Avenue, behind the former Angie’s Tea Garden on the downtown square. 

The grand opening will be from 10am-4pm today and Von Behren encourages everyone to check out the new retail business. She talks about what she is most excited about as she starts her new venture of solely owning the newest Funky Zebra location.

“Well I’m definitely excited to be working it. I plan to be here a lot of the time and meeting all the new people here, and building those relationships, and hopefully lasting relationships. I mean Facebook does a good job with that. I’ve already recognized a lot of names. So I’m excited to meet those people and just get involved, looking forward to the Bell Tower Festival, and things like that.”

Von Behren adds there will be drawings and refreshments during the grand opening event.
