Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — Emporium@C is celebrating 25 years of style, charm, and community on the Gulf Coast. The local boutique has become a favorite stop for both residents and visitors.

From July 1st through the 3rd, 2025, the party will take place at the Orange Beach and Perdido Key locations. Shoppers can expect a fun-filled experience that honors the past and celebrates the present. New and longtime customers are welcome to join.
