When an entrepreneurial mother, Ann Zipser, and her two twenty-something daughters, Rebecca Hoffman and Emily Zipser, decided to go into business together a unique and fashionable maternity and infant shop seemed like the perfect idea. Mix in the backgrounds of accounting, medicine, teaching and design and of course a great fashion sense and Preggers was born.
Preggers opened in March 2005 in the quaint Old Town section of downtown Traverse City, Michigan. A tourist destination with an ever expanding local population and no place to shop for maternity clothing was an ideal location for the new store. Each member of the family used their own individual talents to create a unique shop catering to a large variety of customers. The store offers a wide range of maternity and nursing fashions, infant layettes and clothing, designer diaper bags, strollers, beautiful cribs and bedding and so much more.
With demands of fashion for my child being uttered nearly on a daily basis the idea for Preggers 2 came about. Our second location in the heart of downtown caters to the fashionable tot. In addition a wide range of unique toddler accessories from hand-painted potty chairs to replica pedal tricycles and airplanes can be found throughout the store.
Preggers and Preggers 2 were born out of love and ambition. A family dream and 3 females with a will to succeed have made this business a success that will hopefully continue to bring fun and fashion to stay-at-home mom’s, working mothers, newborn babies and growing tots everywhere!
