Garden City Center welcomed the newest business to open in the center: Ann Taylor. Located next to Pinkberry’s, Ann Taylor opened their latest concept store, a first in Rhode Island, which is laid out in a welcoming atmosphere. With a heritage dating back to 1954, Ann Taylor has been synonymous with all-American style for modern working women. Ann Taylor has recently gone through its most significant evolution, starting with the revamped collection launched in fall 2009 under the brand’s new head of design, Lisa Axelson.
