Women in Business: Colleen Burback - Urban Barn Clothing Company

To boutique owner Colleen Burback, running her own business is next door to living the dream.

The mom of four first opened Urban Barn Clothing Company in 2012, delighting U.S. 280 shoppers with her selection of affordable, quality merchandise. 

Burback selects apparel from Los Angeles and Las Vegas markets, ensuring the newest styles for her customers and often equipping the shop with fashion that is “ahead of the game” alternately offered by Atlanta markets. 

Quantities are limited in order to supply each week with a new assortment.

Burback said she implements this limited-time-offer system “because people don’t like to be seen wearing the same thing as someone else.”

The boutique also features an assortment of local, handmade items such as bath bombs, pillows, candles, soaps, jewelry and more. 

Besides selling local artists’ merchandise, Burback supports local sports teams and donates new Urban Barn clothing to Hannah Homes once a year.

Affordability has been a key ingredient for Urban Barn Clothing Company. “I just want to keep it affordable because I think that’s a big draw,” Burback said, “especially in today’s economy.”

After several relocations, Urban Barn Clothing Company reopened in November to a pleased U.S. 280 public. “I like where I am now,” Burback said. “I’m at home, finally.”
