Meet the Ladies of the Foundry & Jake
Meet Fallen
The visionary behind Tres Chic Boutique and The Foundry in Abilene, Texas. Born and raised in the Big Country, Fallen has a deep-rooted love for every aspect of retail.
Understanding that shopping can sometimes feel overwhelming for men, Fallen has designed The Foundry to be a one-stop shop where gentlemen can feel at ease in their element. With a commitment to providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Fallen is eagerly anticipating the opening of The Foundry Men's Clothing Store, across the parking lot from Tres Chic Boutique, September 13, 2024!
Give me an Alani and peanut butter M&M’s and we are friends for life!
I am Kourtney Pierik, the manager at Tres Chic Boutique, but you may see me from time to time at The Foundry as well. I have had the pleasure of working with Fallen and her boutique since 2018 in its early days in Ballinger, TX. Growing up, my family has always been a part of the Big Country community!
I cherish my life on our historic family farm, established in 1879, alongside my husband John and our two energetic boys Jack and Liam. I thrive in the close-knit community, balancing my role at the boutique with helping on my family farm and ranch, and actively supporting boy’s sports and recreational activities. When not immersed in work or home duties, I enjoy retreating to our family beach house, surrounded by loved ones.
Wherever I am, I try to bring my personal style: casual mom chic. With a deep commitment to providing an exceptional shopping experience, my self and the Tres Chic Boutique team are excited to be part of your stylistic journey, welcoming you warmly into our family.
Meet Kristen
Coffee and Eye Patches usually keep my Crazy in Check.
I’m Kristen Wheeler, and I’ve been with Tres Chic since August 2021. I am a proud graduate of Texas Tech University with a degree in Retail. This year, my husband Michael and I celebrate 17 years of marriage. We have two wonderful kids (most of the time): a 15-year-old son, Cooper, and an 11-year-old daughter, Reese. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our three dogs: Thor, Rylee, and Foley.
Last year, we moved from the Big Country to Bomb City . Now, I work behind the scenes on Tres Chic’s & The Foundry's social media and website from our home in Amarillo. You’ll occasionally see me in the store when Fallen & Kourtney need some extra entertainment or someone to keep them on their toes.
When I’m not working—or when they think I’m working—I’m usually annoying my husband with eye rolls or spending quality time with our family.
As my family and friends would say my face usually says it before I do, but hey I keep it entertaining!!
Meet Julie
We are so excited to add Julie to our Tres Chic / The Foundry Team!
Hello! I’m Julie, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I’m a devoted wife, mother to three incredible children, and a proud Gigi to two wonderful granddaughters. My journey with Tres Chic began back when we first opened our doors in Ballinger, and it has been a rewarding experience working on and off with such a fantastic team over the years.
Now, I am thrilled to step into a new chapter as the manager of The Foundry. I am eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to this role and to collaborate with an exceptional group of women. I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities this position will bring and to contributing to the continued success and growth of our team.
Meet Hannah
Hi! I’m Hannah Glover and I have been with Tres Chic and The Foundry since August! I have just recently graduated from Texas Tech in May with my Bachelor’s of General Studies with a concentration in Interior Design! While being there, I was apart of Alpha Xi Delta and was the Communications Vice President! Through Tech and my sorority, I have made the best of friends and memories! Wreck ‘Em!! ♥️
After graduation, I moved to Abilene after my boyfriend Hunter got offered a job as the General Manager for Firehouse Subs! If you’re ever in the mood for a sub, I know just your guy!
I am currently working on getting my real estate license while also doing occasional stagings for The Fulkerson Real Estate Group!
Hunter and I have one child, Duke, who turns 5 soon! He loves being outside and with his friends! He also has four legs and a tail! 🐶🤪
You can catch me mainly at Tres Chic but occasionally you may find me across the parking lot at The Foundry! I have loved being apart of this team that has truly felt like family. It has been very rewarding to work along side women that work so hard each day! They not only see my capabilities but push me to get more creative each and every day! 💕
Meet Jake!
Not only is he Fallen's son but also such an important part of
Tres Chic & The Foundry!!!
Hey there! I’m Jake, a 15-year-old with a passion for politics, music, and all things tech. I play the trumpet in my school band, and when I’m not jamming out or hanging with friends, you’ll find me diving into video games and exploring new tech trends.
I’ve been helping my mom with Tres Chic Boutique since I was little—so little, in fact, that I once rode my electric police car from our home to the boutique at age 3! Much to the surprise, in our small town someone called my mom to come pick me up! Known as “Mr. Personality” for a reason, I love sharing creative ideas and keeping our social media and the girls up to date with the latest trends.
I’m excited to be part of the team and help bring a touch of personality to everything we do at Tres Chic Boutique & The Foundry!
