Juliana Neumann has always had the dream of attending New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. As a 17 year old junior at Northwest High School she has gotten a jumpstart on her dream by opening her own boutique in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.
Her new boutique, Bon Ju Ju is now open at 212 Main Street, in the location that was formerly home to Karen’s Rocks and Rags, which was also a women’s clothing store. When Juliana learned that her friend’s mom’s shop, Karen’s Rocks and Rags would be closing due to the family moving, Juliana jumped at the opportunity to take over.
Juliana didn’t do it alone… her mom, who has her own shops tor her furniture business, helped the high school student with the shop’s opening. Bon JuJu opened on May 21st and you can follow the shop’s Instagram for additional information.
