New challenge — Alison Wedlake (right) is the new owner of European Additions in Exeter.With her is employee Erin Traquair. (photo/Pat/Bolen) New owner for clothing store By Pat Bolen TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER — After eight years as an employee at European Addition in Exeter, Alison Wedlake is looking forward to the challenge of being the owner after recently buying the business from previous owner Karen Zehetner. Wedlake said she always had it in the back of her mind and when Zehetner said she was planning on selling, Wedlake knew instantly she wanted to buy the clothing store. While she says she will be keeping the store's line of women's clothes the same, she plans on adding a line of Signal men's clothes to the Signal women's clothes the store already carries. It is the first time own- ing a business for Wedlake and she says she has always enjoyed choosing clothes and is looking forward to the business side. Wedlake held an open house Saturday and says the community support has been encouraging. She also thanks Zehetner for the first chance to buy the build- ing.
