Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey has opened her first retail store in the US. The 5,500 square-foot shop, in the heart of Chicago, features hundreds of items representing her style. It is filled with inspirational and informative books, comfortable clothes and goods bearing Winfrey’s trademark “O” – including velour tracksuits with the “O” zipper. Among the book on sale are titles by poet Maya Angelou and diet doctor Mehmet Oz. “It’s a specialty store full of merchandise that represents the style and taste Oprah celebrates and shares on The Oprah Winfrey Show, ” her publicist said in a statement. “The interior was created to evoke a loft-like urban feel with exposed ceiling along with the extensive use of bamboo wood, brushed metals and green chocolate-flaked marble.” According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the most popular items at The Oprah Store when it opened on Thursday were $13 cosmetics bags decorated with blue, yellow, pink and purple Os. Shoppers can also pick up an $8 handmade keychain or buy a pair of $300 crocodile boots. The approximately 900 products in the shop include souvenirs, “lounge, workout and luxury apparel; O Baby: a signature line of baby products; and select South African arts and crafts,” according to a statement.
