The Ruby Kate Story

Ruby Kate’s Boutique began as a small spark of inspiration tucked inside our family-run Pat’s Hallmark Shop in 2018. What once was a quiet corner filled with dishes and housewares gradually transformed into something more vibrant, more personal — a curated collection of clothing and accessories that soon became affectionately known as “the clothing side.” At first, it didn’t have a name. But it had heart — and that was more than enough to catch the eyes and smiles of our customers.

The excitement we saw when people discovered this hidden gem inside our store lit a fire in us. That joy, that spark, reminded us why we love what we do. After many heartfelt conversations, late-night brainstorming sessions, and shared dreams, we knew it was time to give this growing piece of our business its own identity.

Ruby Kate’s Boutique is named from the heart — after Becky and Brannon Dyer’s daughter, Ruby Katherine. But the name carries even more love than that. Both Becky and Brannon had grandmothers named Ruby, making the name a beautiful blend of past, present, and future. It felt right. It felt like family.

As second-generation owners of Pat’s Hallmark Shop — a store rooted in the community since 1996 and built on the legacy of Brown’s Drugs before it — family and tradition mean everything to us. Ruby Kate’s is an extension of that legacy: a place built on love, laughter, and the joy of making people feel special.

At Ruby Kate’s Boutique, we’re more than just a place to shop. We’re a part of your story, just as you are a part of ours. We are endlessly grateful for the support of our amazing community and hope to bring warmth, joy, and the kind of service that feels like coming home.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. We can’t wait to see where it leads.
