WILMETTE SHOP CELEBRATES THE NORTH SHORE “BEACH TOWN’S” ESSENCE. BY MONICA KASS ROGERS THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Karen O’Sullivan’s bright and breezy boutique siblings Share and Shack stand side-byside on Wilmette Avenue. It’s about an hour before opening time, and with the morning sun lighting up the soft palette of the merchandise, six-week-old Shack looks every bit the Midwest beachtown baby that Sullivan wanted to create next door to Share. “We live in a beach town,” says O’Sullivan. “In fact, the North Shore is a string of towns with gorgeous beaches— from Evanston on the south to Lake Bluff on the North. But unlike the East Coast where I grew up, where every beach town had little shops with their own merchandise that celebrated that special, local feel, the North Shore didn’t have that.” Until now. Riffing on a concept both charming and original, O’Sullivan carefully curates merchandise at Shack that changes frequently with “pop-up” themes. This gives the term “beach town” a North Shore flair that works throughout the year, in hot weather and cold. O’Sullivan calls her approach at Shack a “modern general store” with a mix of merchandise that runs the gamut from home décor and fun wearables to hostess gifts and jewelry. It even includes an assortment of grab-and-go soup; salad and sandwich items; plus, jeni’s ice-creams and cold-pressed juice drinks from Continued on PG 10
