PEORIA – A space centered around small, local vendors will maintain the same “shop-local feel” as it transitions to new ownership.
The Wink House – situated at 3605 W. Willow Knolls Drive – will officially become The Willow Collective on June 1, according to posts made to the business’ Facebook page.
The change comes as Andrea Winkler, who opened the shop in late 2023, moves out of the area with family. She is passing the reins to Kathy Hancock, owner of Simply Fabulous Boutique, which regularly sold its products at The Wink House.
“She’s grown right alongside us, and there is no one better to carry this forward,” the business said in a May 1 Facebook post.
“Stick around as we transition into this next chapter… there are so many fun, trendy things coming your way—while still keeping the shop-local feel you love!”
Gift cards for The Wink House will be accepted through the end of the year, and rewards will also carry over to The Willow Collective.
