Carol Sullivan is retiring.  The owner of C.I.S. Sportswear at 806 Caroline St. in downtown Fredericksburg is closing her store.
The women’s specialty boutique features classic pieces to fun items like seasonal and novelty sweaters. Handbags, decorative belts and colorful jewelry — including Brighton accessories — define the shop.
Sullivan said she would sell the shop, but has had no offers.  So, she’s hung a “Retirement Sale” banner and plans to close the C.I.S. door for good at the end of the day on July 31, 2014.
