ichele Johnson, retail manager at Mission
Point Boutique provided Gift Shop® Plus an
inside look at the history and transformation
of the Mission Point Boutique, located at Mission Point
Resort, a popular tourist destination in Michigan's upper
peninsula.
" Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island transcends
time, " according to Johnson. " Recently voted the #1
Island Destination in the Continental United States by
Travel + Leisure Magazine, there is an instant sense of
nostalgia the moment you step off the ferry - a place
where no cars or worries are allowed. " The resort is a
family-owned business and is a destination for tourists
and locals to go to " discover Michigan's crown jewel. "
The resort holds fast to its core values: Michigan
pride, and preserving Michigan and Mackinac Island's
land, people and history. " This shines through the work
we do at the boutique in carrying artwork, clothing,
jewelry and more from local artists and vendors, "
emphasized Johnson.

experienced a transformation that complements its core
values. " Over the past few seasons, the shop has focused
on staying true to our Michigan roots and focused on
sourcing hyper-local products to offer. We have found
that guests and shoppers love to support local vendors
and have embraced our dedication to supporting local
as much as we can, " she detailed.
Best-sellers at the boutique include women's apparel,
particularly summer dresses. " Mackinac Island is an
iconic summer destination, and sundresses epitomize
the Mackinac Island summer experience, " Johnson said
enthusiastically.
" One of our top selling brands is Freefly, an athleisure
brand that specializes in fabrics made from bamboo
natural fibers. This brand was a key fit for us as one of
our organization's brand pillars is caring for our bodies
- our own bodies, our bodies of water and our bodies of
land. We want to support vendors that have the same
