Women’s fashion brand Courage B plans to open a boutique in north suburban Lake Forest in late April.

The company, which has six boutiques nationwide, was featured last fall on entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis‘ CNBC show “The Profit.”

“We are excited to open the new Courage B boutique in the beautiful and energetic neighborhood of Lake Forest,” Lemonis said in a news release. “Our goal is to be the go-to upscale retailer in this community.”

The new store will be at 267 E. Westminster Ave. The company also has boutiques in New York City; Greenwich, Connecticut; Bethesda, Maryland; Palm Beach, Florida; Fairfax, Virginia; and Aspen, Colorado.

Courage B was started in 2009 by Stephanie Menkin and her brother Nicolas Goureau. The boutique will feature tops, sweaters, dresses and bottoms, as well as accessories and handbags.

Lemonis is chairman and CEO of Camping World, the Lincolnshire-based RV and outdoor retailer.
