Lives are often reshaped by drastic circumstances. It’s only when we have the heart of a survivor we learn to overcome obstacles that would break the spirits of many of our peers. When I met Renee Bolli, I knew I had met one such person. She had just opened Renee’s Unique Boutique, one that she spent years fantasizing about while she helped her ex-husband build their restaurant businesses from the ground up. Hearing a little of her story, it was immediately evident that she possesses the qualities of determination, generosity and hard work that inspire others.

Born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Renee spent years as a cosmetologist, wife and mother to her three kids Dominic, Gabriella and Antonio. A pillar for her husband during their marriage, she worked for hours by his side to ensure he had the support necessary to be successful and provide for their family. She traveled back and forth tirelessly for 3 years between their Pennsylvania based restaurant and their Florida location before they finally sold their northern location and relocated permanently to Florida. When their marriage ended she realized it was going to be an uphill battle to provide for her kids and her lifelong dream & entrepreneurial soul forged a plan which sent her searching for just the right location for her boutique. It was here in Wesley Chapel where, getting such a nice vibe from the community, she settled on her current location in Grand Oaks Square.

After much sacrifice on the part of herself and her kids, she had finally found the charming place to showcase the purchases she had slowly acquired in anticipation of realizing her lifelong dream. The planning diverted her from a major setback of breast cancer, which drained her emotionally & financially but did not deter her from the goal of having a beautiful store that would allow everyone the opportunity to afford high quality purchases. On any day you can find Renee at her resale boutique meticulously organizing her designer new & resale products. She chooses her products with a keen and discerning eye and looks for quality and versatility. It’s diversity she seeks, so when you enter the boutique you will immediately be taken in by a variety of designer products ranging from hip, chic, sophisticated to proper, classy or fun.

She confesses, of course, that her kids help her find the “hip” stuff, but only so they can be actively involved in helping her. Renee affectionately refers to her daughter Gabriella as her PR Rep because Gabriella has created all her business cards, maintained the boutique’s Facebook profile and offered ideas and suggestions for her marketing. Her youngest son Antonio helps with errands. These small things make Renee happy because she hopes to teach the values of hard work, honesty, leadership, dedication & loyalty to her children. She made it very clear that she is a mother first and foremost with a side note that occasional massages help her to stay sane!
