Shopping in Montgomeryville

After growing frustrated with her film-industry career in New York City, Anne Kuronyi traveled out west, where she spent most of her time sifting through clothing racks in "buy, sell, trade" boutiques. Fueled by a love of vintage apparel and a modest amount of money, Anne returned to her hometown in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, to open her own shop. What began in 2003 as a three-room boutique eventually expanded into a seven-room vintage haven stocked with gently used designer clothing, jewelry, and home décor. Now three locations strong, The Attic maintains a dialogue with its clientele through excellent customer service, social-networking sites, and retro carrier pigeons.

Since 1921, Army & Navy Store has worked to supply local residents with the necessities for interacting with a variety of geographical features. The shop began as an outfitter for rail workers and miners, preventing them from having to dig with boots stolen from the town giant, before expanding to carry Army and Navy surplus goods from World War II. Currently, it specializes in outdoor gear and employs an experienced staff to assist guests in searching for specialized equipment for camping, cycling, fishing, exercise, and watersports.

Glasses Galore's eyewear aims to merge crystal-clear vision with high fashion. Tending first to sight, doctors scrutinize eyes during exams before recommending the lenses that will best suit each client’s vision and lifestyle needs. Eyes can blink through lens styles including no-glare and progressive, which transition seamlessly between near, intermediate, distance, peripheral, and interstellar vision. An equally diverse selection of contact lenses caters to the frame-free with daily-wear and specialty options. In the fashion-focused showroom, designer frames by Coach, Dior, Gucci, Kate Spade, and Tiffany & Co. rest in display cases or atop Groucho Marx mustaches.

Along the back wall of Regal Gallery and Custom Framing, frame samples representing a range of styles and materials nestle together. The diversity of these frames showcases all the custom framing options that the shop—which boasts 25 years in the industry—offers to its customers, whether they are looking for a gilded, hand-carved frame to showcase fine art or a practical, economical frame to enclose a poster.

Fine art and prints also deck the walls, along with 3D shadowboxes containing sports jerseys and memorabilia. Regal Gallery and Custom Framing can also frame diplomas, keepsakes, mirrors, and antiques or smaller frames that frame even smaller frames to represent the concept of infinity. They are so confident in their work they guarantee to complete projects in less time and for less money than their competitors.
