Ciao Bella Opens New Store in Fairfield

Fairfield, CT - The Fairfield Department of Community & Economic Development announces the opening of Ciao Bella, which celebrated the official opening of its newest location in Fairfield with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, December 6^th. Ciao Bella is located at 1610 Post Road in downtown Fairfield.

Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau, Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce President Beverly Balaz were among the dignitaries and other guests on hand to help co-owners (and sisters) Janice Briguglio and Shelia Salkin mark the occasion.  

Ciao Bella specializes in fashionable junior wear, must-have accessories and unique gift items. Ciao Bella accepts both the Stag Card and SHU Card at its Fairfield store location.

Sheila and Janice started the business after returning from a vacation to Italy fourteen years ago. Their home-based business quickly outgrew its space and they opened their first storefront in 2006 in Madison, Connecticut. The Fairfield store is Ciao Bella’s second location.  

“We are thrilled to welcome Ciao Bella to Fairfield. Small businesses like Ciao Bella are what make Fairfield what it is, and we wish Janice and Sheila much success in this latest endeavor,” stated Mark Barnhart, Director of the Department of Community & Economic Development.

For hours and more information about the store, please visit their website or their Facebook page.
