Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Alina.

​

I'm the owner of The Barker Shop in Willowbrook and the founder of Luxe Purr Lounge.

​

I've dedicated my career to caring for animals and creating exceptional experiences for the people who love them. Over the years, I've learned that the little details matter—whether it's remembering a customer's name, creating a welcoming environment, or going the extra mile for every pet that walks through the door.​  That same attention to detail is the foundation of Luxe Purr Lounge.

​

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, staying active in the gym, or traveling in search of new places, great food & coffee, or spending time with the people who support me and believe in my dreams.  Many of the ideas behind Luxe Purr Lounge have been inspired by those experiences and the people who have encouraged me along the way.

 

Luxe Purr Lounge combines everything I'm passionate about—exceptional design, specialty coffee, animal welfare and creating an environment where guests can relax, recharge, and connect with adoptable cats.

​

Thank you for following along as this dream becomes a reality. I can't wait to welcome you into a space that's been created with passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

​

See you soon,

​

Alina 💜

Founder, Luxe Purr Lounge
