(Le Mars) — A woman with a lifelong dream is what it took to get Frugal Fusion in downtown Le Mars up and running. Tammra Baugous (Ba-a-a-guess) opens the doors to her new store Monday, and her enthusiasm for what she’s doing could light up a room.
Tammra’s background is in mall retail, and that, combined with her other interests, led her to making this dream a reality.

So she fused together the stores she loved, and the concept of Frugal Fusion was born. The product offerings are broad…There’s jewelry, purses, clothing, including children’s clothing, sunglasses, home decor, and even ear piercing.
About 80 percent of what Frugal Fusion has to offer is brand new and the rest of the inventory comes from consignment. Tamara says she’s looking at a range of consignment options- from people who make their own unique jewelry to people wanting to keep their home looking fresh and fun by bringing in their home decor for someone else to enjoy.
Tamara’s primary goal for the store is to make it about her customers.

Even though Tammra is not a Le Mars native, she’s really looking forward to the win-win of how her downtown location will be great for business and her business can be great for Le Mars.
