Find fashion style and
comfort at Silkwood
By SCOTT KEITH
S
ilkwood is all about style
and comfort.
Great fit, flattering silhouttes, soft fabrics- all are important to make you look and feel
great! Timeless pieces that will
take you from work to weekend
to a night out.
“What we carry here is fun,
unique, and some are just a little
bit funky. The clothes I select are
clothes that I would be proud to
wear”, says owner Sandy Varzarschi. “Soft fibers, natural
dyes, hand stitching, modern
styles and vintage inspirations,
all in a casual atmosphere where
it’s fun to just hang out!”
As one of the newest businesses at Progress Ridge TownSquare, it has barely been a
month since Varzarschi put the
finishing touches on her boutique
store in Beaverton.
As she gets ready for her first
Silkwood sells the popular clothes line, Desigual, a casual clothing brand
that is based in Barcelona, Spain.
Mother’s Day weekend at Progress Ridge, she reflects on a career switch that took her from
landscaping to designing clothes. “I actually have a background
in running a landscape design
company (for seven years),” Var-
Unique accessories galore pepper the shelves at Silkwood.
zarschi said, noting that after her
first child died in an accident, she
lost her purpose to landscape.
Thinking her second child
might be a girl, she started making girl’s clothes. When she found
out she was having a boy, she had
lots of girl’s clothing to get rid of.
“I got an idea of selling them
at the boutiques,” she said, adding that she eventually traveled
to Los Angeles to get ideas and
present her clothes.
“Eventually I decided I could
do it on my own and that’s how
the idea of the boutique (the
store) came up,” Varzarschi said.
She opened her first shop in
2009, in her home town of Lake
Oswego. Then, in July, 2011, she
opened a second Silkwood in the
Pearl District.; eventually, she
moved her Lake Oswego store to
Progress Ridge.
“By moving to this location, I

Progress Ridge.
had a chance to expand my gift
selection (accessories and gift
items),” she said.
Silkwood, according to Varzarschi, offers cute, quality
clothes for a variety of needs and
occasions. There’s a bit of “old
world” flair to Silkwood as you
choose from a mix of American
designers and European lines.
“Some are hard to find, some are
global lines that are really huge,
but limited in Portland.”
There is a wide selection of
women’s clothing, but you can
find some fun items for children.
When a customer buys a wardrobe, Varzarschi will help with
styling.
“I provide honest and sincere
advice about what flatters the
body. Sometimes you don’t realize if something works or it
doesn’t,” Varzarschi said.
She said, sometimes, it helps to
have a “second set of eyes.”

Flowers for
any occasion
Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, Prom or any
occasion, New Season’s Floral Department is
ready to help you with all your floral needs
By SCOTT KEITH
I
f you work in the floral department of
a large grocery store, and you’re considering taking a vacation around, say,
mid-May, think again. It’s probably not
going to happen. The floral department at
The florists at New Seasons make corsages
and boutonnieres in time for proms.
New Seasons florist Jamie Gabel prepares a floral bouquet creation for a customer.
New Seasons Market at Progress Ridge
TownSquare is well aware that Mother’s
Day is their busiest day of the year – and
they are hard at work, preparing for the
special occasion.
After Jamie Gabel, whose grandmother
was part of the Kaiser Iris Festival, was elevated to floral manager, she relished the
opportunity to use her creativity.
“In order for me to move up, I needed to
become a department manager. So I saw
‘floral manager’and I thought, ‘I could do
that,’” said Gabel. “I actually really like using my creativity.”
Mother’s Day is huge for flower sales. “Valentine’s is a close second, but not everybody has a significant other. But everybody, typically, has a mother,” Gabel pointed out. “It’s lots of plants, hanging baskets,
lots of flowers – a little bit of everything.”
You might want to consider custom inhouse bouquets or grab and go (already
made) bouquets for your mom, wife or best
pal; these are offered year round.
“Basically, a customer comes in and they
might not know exactly what they want,
but they know, ‘I have a budget of $25 and
I know the person I’m giving it to loves
the color purple, or they really love lilies,’”
Floral creations take the form of both large
and small, such as this creative globe.
Gabel said, adding she’ll give the customer
a ticket and they can return after finishing
shopping to pick up their arrangement.
Close to Mother’s Day is prom season,
where New Seasons Market offers corsages, boutonnieres or flowers to place in the
hair; orchids are usually good for the hair. Then comes summer (after graduation),
which can be a slower time of year in the
floral department. “People are out of town,
on vacation, they’re going to the farmer’s
market,” said Gabel, noting the summer
season is actually the best time to buy “the
most beautiful flowers, I think, in Oregon.”
Terrariums are also available at the Beaverton store.
“We usually always have some sort of
terrariums on hand. The store loves terrariums, and when we don’t have them, we’re
constantly asked for them,” Gabel said.
New Seasons offers a unique shopping
experience, and in the floral department,
you can find flowers that fit any budget.
“If they (customers) want to come design something, or if they want something
custom designed for them, that’s what we
offer here. You can’t find that in a lot of
other places. We can meet any budget,” she
said.
As the New Seasons Market floral department gets ready for Mother’s Day
weekend, you might find some new faces.
“It is going to be very busy and very chaotic, but we make it,” Gabel said. “We bring
in extra employees. I have four additional
helpers, besides myself and my staff...I’ve
already started my training and my expectations of the day.”

Restaurants and eateries at
Progress Ridge TownSquare
P
rogress Ridge TownSquare is rapidly become a prime shopping, restaurant and entertainment destination in Washington County. But if you visit Progress Ridge, be sure to
bring an empty stomach. Many new eateries have opened up in
recent weeks and months. You can try Chinese, Korean, Thai and
Lao items, or stick with traditional family favorites, such as pizza,
hamburgers and palate-pleasing sandwiches. You can even find a
cup of frozen yogurt that will cool you down during the warmer
months.
What is so great about Progress Ridge is that you can dine at
the following fine restaurants and eateries and still have time to
visit stores, bowl a few games or take in a movie at one of Cinetopia’s spacious, yet cozy theaters.

Enjoy the “World’s Greatest
Burger” at Fuddruckers
By SCOTT KEITH
F
uddruckers at Progress Ridge TownSquare is famous for “The Original
World’s Greatest Burger,” but there’s also
a special ambience at the Beaverton location. In
addition to fashionable high ceilings, you can sit
at tables that overlook beautiful Progress Lake.
Wherever you sit, you’ll find an impressive
menu featuring specialty burgers, fish and chips,
plenty of side dishes and some tasty starters.
The owner of Fuddruckers at Progress Ridge is
Bob Magid. According to Magid, Progress Ridge
is an excellent location.
“We’ve had a very tremendous and favorable
response,” he said. “The people who live in the
area are enjoying coming in. A lot of them are already repeat customers.”
Fuddruckers takes the time to feature items
that will please both kids and adults.
“We have a dozen very high-end beers on tap
or on draft,” Magid said. “They’re among the best
beers, both nationally and internationally.”
Youngsters, of all ages, can enjoy premium ice
cream too. “We use real premium ice cream for our
milkshakes and ice cream cones. There’s been a lot
of response to that. It’s kind of special for our particular location,” added Magid.
Perhaps the top signature item on the menu is
“The Original World’s Greatest Burger.”
“We do serve high-premium beef,” Magid said,
noting that Fuddruckers has built its reputation
on having the highest-end American beef, served
fresh, as opposed to frozen. Fuddrucker’s attention to detail can also be seen in the buns baked
daily.
“We do bake our buns fresh daily. They’re
served the same day that they’re baked,” he said.
“A lot of people, who are familiar with Fuddruckers, will tell you the buns, as much as the beef,
make the meal.”
Hamburgers are made to order, then you can
travel to the market-fresh produce bar and pick
from a wide selection of
“The people who fresh vegetables.
live in the area are “You order the burger the way you want it,
enjoying coming the size you want it. You

anything from mediare already repeat um rare to well done.
It’s your own choice,”
customers.”
pointed out Magid. “We
have several specialty
– Bob Magid, owner
burgers, and different
toppings, which you can specialty order.”
Look for some “exotic” items on the menu too.
“We also offer buffalo and elk (burgers)...They’re
very healthy options,” he said. Buffalo burgers
are a good source of iron; they contain omega-3.
Elk burgers, according to the menu, are lean
burgers with fewer calories and total fat.
A children’s menu is offered at Fuddruckers.
“We try to give the children a variety of choices, at a very good price. Unique to this location,
we have a children’s-size milk shake.”
Magid wants to provide a fun atmosphere at
the Progress Ridge location.
“We’re trying to obviously provide a pleasant,
upscale environment...a comfortable, modern
feeling,” Magid said.
If you have a chance, sit at one of the tables
and enjoy the view of Progress Lake. Magid
said, “There are ducks out there. We even had a
bald eagle spotted here.”

Drop by this popular frozen yogurt eatery and enjoy Dutch chocolate,
cake batter, pistachio, chocolate-covered banana, or Mexican latte flavors. Not to worry. Many of the flavors rotate regularly. Once you’ve selected your yogurt flavor, head over to the Snackage table and choose
from such toppings as: Oreo, Heath Bar, coconut, chocolate sprinkles,
mini caramel cups and frosted animal cookies are some of the choices.
At the Chill counter, select some fresh seasonal fruits to add a perfect
touch to your frozen yogurt treat.

Frangipani is a “delightful combination of ethnic

W
hen people talk about donating to charity, they don’t normally suggest renting
a movie.
But Tigard’s Jeff Burchett has plans to turn
DVD-rentals into something that gives back to the
community.
Burchett recently launched GoodMovies, a DVD
and Blu-ray rental box at the New Seasons Market
at Progress Ridge on Southwest Barrows Road in
Southwest Beaverton.
In many ways, GoodMovies is similar to RedBox
or other DVD rental kiosks, but with each rental,
GoodMovies donates a portion of its proceeds to the
Oregon Food Bank, which uses the funds to help
feed Oregon’s half-million hungry.
“We said, ‘What if we did what RedBox is doing,
but we do it in a fashion that everybody wins?’”
Burchett said.
The concept is simple. At $1.50 per night, the cost
is about 25 cents more expensive than the bigger
competition.
“We didn’t have some big creative pricing model.
We’re about 25 cents more than a Redbox rental,
but that 25 cents goes back to Oregon Food Bank as
a donation,” Burchett said.
“With today’s lifestyle, it’s hard to find time to
do charity work a lot of times,” said Burchett, who
also runs an Internet service company in Portland
fulltime. “This way we are able to give some money
back to the community, and we’re also able to make
some money ourselves.”
The high-tech vending machine has a selection
of new releases and children’s films.
Rather than have screens showing available
movies, the machine’s glass front shows what movies are available at any time.
“If you see something you like, just grab it,” Burchett said. “If you don’t see it, you can go on with
your shopping.”
When Burchett was looking to start the company last year, he said he immediately thought of New
Seasons, which has spent more than a decade donating to local charities such as Meals-on-Wheels.
Phone: 503-747-3114
Jeff Burchett’s new company GoodMovies at New
Seasons Market donates a portion of each rental to
the Oregon Good Bank.
“What we are doing with GoodMovies is no different than what New Seasons have been doing for
more than 10 years,” Burchett said. “We are using
that community focus and giving back to differentiate us from the competition.”
Burchett knew he wanted to donate a portion of
GoodMovies’ sales to a local nonprofit organization, and met with members of the Oregon Food
Bank.
“We toured the food bank and then it hit me.
Yeah. This will work,” Burchett said. “How can
people not want to contribute to what these guys
have going?”
So far, Burchett said the kiosk has done well inside the Progress Ridge New Seasons at 14805 S.W.
Barrows Road.
If the business is successful, Burchett said he’d
like to expand to other New Seasons markets in
Beaverton and Hillsboro.
“I don’t have plans to have thousands of these all
across the country,” he said. “But I’d like to see it in
the New Seasons in some of the suburbs.”
