San Diego CA— It’s true, girls just wanna to have fun. They also want to shop, drink wine and give back to the community while supporting some of the area’s best women-owned businesses. On Saturday, April 25, from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m., Point Loma’s favorite homegrown restaurant, The Wine Pub, hosts a Girls Day Out Sip-N-Shop on its outdoor patio as an opportunity to do all of the above.
Three local, women-owned boutiques will set up mini storefronts at The Wine Pub for an evening of the community’s best shopping and wine pairing. Just like The Wine Pub, each business is an Ocean Beach/Point Loma-area, woman-owned operation.
In addition to the prime shopping and sipping opportunities, guests are encouraged to bring gently used women’s and children’s clothing donations to benefit San Diego’s largest homeless services provider, Father Joe’s Villages. Serving almost 15,000 homeless and working poor San Diegans in 2014, Father Joe’s provides well-kept clothing for its clients to wear to job interviews, school and other formal obligations. To encourage donations, The Wine Pub offers a one-cent glass of wine to guests who bring in clothing.
“To us, community means more than good business at The Wine Pub,” says Wine Pub owner Sandy Hanshaw. “It means good business at the shops surrounding us and being good to our neighbors in need. When the community is successful, we are successful.”
Sippers and shoppers will have the opportunity to browse some of the neighborhood’s favorite boutiques all at once, including:
- Alice Alfreda: Resale, high-end clothing boutique
- Teeter: Modern, hand-crafted home and lifestyle boutique
- Rare Bloom: Unique gifts, clothing and jewelry boutique
No tickets are required for Girls Day Out Sip-N-Shop on Saturday, April 25 from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. For more information on this event and The Wine Pub, please visit www.thewinepubsd.com.
