After Jeannie Gann’s three daughters – Sierra, Megan and Kirsten – each had a daughter of their own, she found herself shopping for lots of cute kids clothes. When she had the idea to share what she found with her friends and others, Ivy N Bean was created.

Named after her granddaughters, Ivy, Nora and Ella (affectionately known as EllaBean), the shop at 122 S. Court St. recently celebrated its grand opening with a Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Ivy N Bean started out as a pop-up boutique at fairs, festivals and other events, such as Breckenridge’s Mingle and Jingle. And, now it has a permanent home next door to Adriana’s Taqueria.

Gann and her daughter Megan Hope run the business, with Gann focusing on the storefront and Hope taking care of the online side.

The shop features children’s clothing, accessories, books and toys, as well as a few t-shirts and caps for the moms. It is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Additionally, many items are available online at https://ivynbean.co/.
