“It is little things like changing the windows twice a day, which people absolutely love,” Jeff Johnson says. “It is about the right quality and the emotional attachment. Those little things that we try to do everyday is sort of what separates us.”

The Johnsons’ attention to detail and service is apparent immedately from the clean smell of lit candles. The sleek, cozy boutique offers its customers refreshments, a television lounge, “try-on” high-heels and quality service.
“We’re trying to draw in the focus of being less ‘everything, everybody,” Johnson says. “I have a passion for running stores—men’s, women’s, whatever it may be,” Johnson says. “Selling dresses to people 25 and up, hands down, we are the best.”
Nella, at 103 Courthouse Square, is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but also opens early and closes late during busy weeks and weekends. Visit them online at nellaoxford.com or on Facebook .
