The boutique opened in its new location, the old Salvation Army Store in Keppel Street, on Tuesday, and its owner Megan Fawkner couldn't be happier.

Mrs Fawkner said the store has expanded to include lounges, buffets and dining tables as well as housing two new businesses: a florist, Florence Grace Floristry, and FIKA café.

Mrs Fawkner said things have gone incredibly well since she opened her boutique back in 2017.

She said the original boutique, literally 100 metres up the road, became a little cramped as the business continued to grow.

"We just needed a little more space," she said.

DeJorja featured a combination of locally sourced and imported products when it opened in June 2017, including jewellery, bath products, handbags and homewares, and Mrs Fawkner said she had been shown enormous support over the years.

She put the success of the business down to the support she had received from the local community, which she said had really been "amazing".

"People have been shopping locally and supporting local; it's great," Mrs Fawkner said.

She said the business had also received support from other areas, including Sydney.

"We've had people coming up on weekends, which is amazing," she said.

The growth of the business has seen her employ another three staff, and she also hopes to employ younger staff to assist after school.

Mrs Fawkner said it was always her dream to expand the business, and she thought the café and florist were a perfect fit for the larger, expanded space.

"I just loved the idea of coming and having a coffee, and spoiling yourself or a friend with a beautiful bunch of flowers."

She said Fika café was very laid back, with a menu featuring lots of fresh dishes, sourdough, fresh fruits, smoothies and coffee.

Mrs Fawkner said transforming the old Salvation Army premises into the new business was a big job, which took about eight weeks.

She was behind the creative process and design of the store and said it was a rewarding experience.

"Renovating was a big job. Being an older building, we came up with a few small issues with plumbing and electricity, but now it looks amazing," she said.

"There's new bones in this old girl.

"We are over the moon with the final result.

"So many people have come in the front door and gone 'wow'.

"People have said to me it doesn't feel like a shop in Bathurst, it's more like a shop you'd find in Byron Bay."
