Funky Hippy opens on Lee

Dawn Ward and her daughter-in-law, Lauren, have opened a new store in the petite storefront that formerly housed Simply Charming. Funky Hippy is located at 2265 Lee Road and is open 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

"The store offers an eclectic mix of clothing, housewares and other items for anyone who lives, or is trying to live, outside of the box,” says Ward.

This is the second location for the store. Ward has operated the original Funky Hippy in downtown Akron for eight years.

Attend Funky Hippy’s open house on Saturday, July 24, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Raw Purr  (www.rawpurr.com) will give a special closing performance at Kobalt next door from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m.
