After 23 years in business Omaha clothing boutique is closing

After a 23-year-run, She.la, a women's and children's clothing boutique, has informed customers that it's closing.

The last five of its years were at the Sterling Ridge mixed-use campus near 132nd and Pacific Streets.

Before moving to Sterling Ridge — in a spot that owner Sheila Christ said offered more room — She.la had operated out of Countryside Village for 18 years.

In a "Farewell for now" message sent to customers and put on the business's website, management said that it looked forward to "new endeavors" and that sales would be going on through the closing date of July 18.

The message did not indicate why the store was closing, and Christ did not return a reporter's phone calls.

In 2017, Bass Pro Shops bought Cabela's, a Sidney-based retailer founded in 1961. After consolidating operations at its headquarters in Missouri, Bass Pro then closed the former distribution center in Sidney and merchandise return center in Oshkosh in March of this year. Now all that's left of the Cabela's operations in Sidney is a retail store and a limited corporate presence.

In the wake of the sale, former Cabela's staffers have started two different outdoors businesses in Sidney, Highby Outdoors and NexGen Outfitters. Toronto-based company MMP Enterprises has announced that it would locate 155 new jobs in Sidney at the former Cabela's building, according to the local economic development partnership.
