Holiday Shopping 2023: Groove 

For this installment of our local holiday shopping series, we catch up with Judi Anders, manager of Groove’s New Canaan store on Elm Street. 

Here’s a transcript of our conversation. ***

New Canaanite: Could you please give us some background on the store, and also an overview of what you have on offer here. Judi Anders: The owner is Corri Neckritz and she started the business Groove because she saw there was a need for cute, trendy clothes and gifts and she just couldn’t find them out there. And so she started selling out of her basement. And she then opened her first store in Westport in 2012.
