Factory Connection District Manager Michelle Alumbaugh spoke about the chain of stores that originated out of Kentucky and were spreading out throughout the Midwest. The chain offers name brand clothing at affordable prices and is very well stocked with women 's clothing in adult sizes from Misses to Plus.
