🌟 Meet Emily Melo Pacheco, the inspiring owner of Orchard Clothing Company, nestled in the heart of downtown Strathroy at the Shops on Sydenham! 🌟 She is also one of our panelist at the Middlesex Women's Leadership Conference on September 14. I dropped into her store last week and I was inspired! I can't wait to listen to her speak! Emily’s passion lies in helping women of all shapes and sizes (from XS to 3X) feel confident and beautiful in their bodies. Her journey began during the pandemic when she transformed her home-based business into a thriving storefront, proving that determination and adaptability can lead to incredible success. With a keen eye for fashion and a dedication to her community, Emily has expanded Orchard Clothing three times in just seven years. Today, her spacious and welcoming store offers an array of casual and dressy clothing, footwear, purses, jewelry, bras, and accessories—all at reasonable prices. Orchard Clothing is known for its quality and the personalized shopping experience it offers, making every woman feel special. Emily’s path to entrepreneurship was shaped by diverse experiences, from being a Toronto realtor to working as an analyst at Tarion Warranty and in retail at Sears’ head office. Her rich background, combined with her Portuguese heritage and love for music, adds a unique flavor to everything she does. A former singer and pianist, Emily’s love for music is ever-present, with tunes always playing as she runs her store. Outside of work, Emily enjoys quality time with her family, including her husband Tiago, their two sons, Nathan (13) and Nolan (8), and their two rescue chihuahuas, Tonka and Blanche. Join Emily on her journey and discover why Orchard Clothing is more than just a store—it’s a celebration of style, confidence, and community.
