Locally Owned Store Offers Huge Selection of Halloween Costumes for Fairfield County

Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) October 18, 2011

Sophia?s Costumes, celebrating its 30th year in business, is pleased to offer a huge selection of costume rentals and sales for 2011. With Halloween quickly approaching, they are busy as ever serving the residents of Fairfield County with premier costumes. In fact, they hired 8 additional employees just to handle the rush of customers.

They differentiate themselves from chain stores by offering vintage clothing, masquerade costumes and high quality period costumes, in addition to pop-culture themed and traditional Halloween costumes. Sophia Scarpelli started her business in 1981 with just one rack of clothing. Today, she offers around 5,000 unique costumes of all varieties for rent and for sale. Shopping at Sophia?s is also an experience that local residents treasure as part of the season.

She also has a huge collection of vintage clothing that she sells. Scarpelli says she gets 90% of her vintage merchandise, which includes antiques, costume jewelry and vintage glassware, from the people who have actually owned it or had it in their families. After thirty years of selling, she has become a well-known assessor of vintage merchandise for Fairfield residents. ?I?m always looking for old and beautiful things to consign,? Scarpelli said, ?so why not give me a call??

"Really great things are valuable in this economy," she said. "I've seen the town change so much, and I've had to change with it to survive. But great clothes will never go out of style."

India Shopping Store ShalinIndia sets up its wholly owned subsidiary in the US

New Delhi, India (PRWEB) November 26, 2011

An online store for handmade in India gifts, indian clothing and jewelry, ShalinIndia, has announced its wholly owned subsidiary in the US. So far, ShalinIndia had been operating as an export oriented offshore company. Setting up of wholly owned subsidiary in the US will enable ShalinIndia to set up new sales channels and provide better support to customers in the US.

?We felt the time had come to set up our company in the US. We had achieved a critical mass of US based customers and the number of our customers had been growing by the day. In the last year we had shifted a good part of our inventory to the warehouses in the US and most of the orders we received were being fulfilled locally. The evolving situation required that we shift some of our management activities too. Hence our decision to set up a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States?, explained Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia.

?The setting up of our subsidiary company in the US and the tax identification number associated with it enables us to fulfill IRS requirements of declaring our income from online sales in the US to the regulatory authorities?, added Shalini.

The legal name of ShalinIndia?s subsidiary in the US is ShalinIndia US Incorporated and the company is based in Delaware.

ShalinIndia, one of the premier online India shopping stores, specializes in selling India gifts, cultural and traditional products to customers around the world. Besides, selling through its own stores, the company also sells through amazon marketplace, and several niche product stores like those for indian dresses for women, or indian costume for men. Through an arrangement with Amazon, ShalinIndia keeps its inventory in five countries ? US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. This enables ShalinIndia to reduce not only delivery time but also shipping costs for its customers. ShalinIndia has maintained consistently high feedback ratings from its online customers.
