Stephanie and Kedra McCall

The Molly Grace at 207 N 4th Street in Highlands is a charming family boutique that offers a little bit of everything.

That sounds a bit cliché, but trust us, this shining jewel has treats and treasures throughout the store, and their helpful friendly staff will always greet you with a smile.

It’s those smiling faces that set the tone for your shopping experience. That, and the colorful coolers in the shape of vintage cars that greet you at the entrance.

Kedra has since joined the business full-time and manages the day-to-day operations, but you’ll often see Stephanie and Marlee pitching in.

The shining example Molly set for her daughter, Stephanie, and her granddaughters, Kedra and Marlee, left an indelible mark on these remarkable women who work daily to honor her memory. Their loving bond is the reason for those big smiles that greet you at The Molly Grace.
