About Us

Angie McClelland is the founder and owner of YaYa Club Boutique, a Texas-based lifestyle boutique built on faith, fashion, community, and authentic connection. While she is incredibly proud of the businesses and brands she has built over the years, Angie will quickly tell you her three greatest achievements are her children: Walker, Bronson, and Mamie Grace.

After graduating from the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas, Angie married her childhood sweetheart and moved to Los Angeles. Although she held a business degree from UT, finding the right opportunity in California was not easy at first. With the help of her mother, who had already spent years in the clothing industry, Angie landed her first job answering phones in a busy multi-line showroom in the Los Angeles Apparel Mart.

 

That opportunity became the foundation for everything that followed.

 

Working with major retailers and national brands such as Macy’s, Dayton Hudson, Nordstrom, and boutiques across the country, Angie quickly realized she had a natural gift for sales, customer relationships, and understanding fashion retail. Her Texas charm, strong work ethic, and willingness to go above and beyond for customers led her to be recruited as a National Sales Manager for one of the largest dress manufacturers in the country.

 

While building relationships throughout the Los Angeles fashion industry, Angie partnered with two fellow sales representatives to launch a boutique concept called Three Friends. Their first store opened in Yorba Linda, California in 1995, and the brand eventually expanded into multiple locations throughout Orange County.

 

In 1999, Angie and her husband made the decision to return home to Texas to raise their growing family and plant deeper roots on Texas soil. Although she initially hoped to continue expanding the Three Friends concept into Texas, the business world—and technology—looked very different at the time. Long-distance partnerships and expansion were far more difficult before modern internet and communication systems existed, so Angie ultimately sold her shares and decided to build something entirely her own.

 

In 2002, she opened the very first YaYa Club Boutique in Beaumont, Texas.

 

What started as a small boutique quickly became something much bigger than clothing. Over the last 24 years, YaYa Club has evolved into a place where women of all ages can feel welcomed, encouraged, confident, and loved. From apparel and accessories to gifts, home décor, and live shopping events, the heart behind the brand has always remained the same: helping women see beauty, purpose, and hope in themselves and others.

In 2018, Angie expanded YaYa Club into Katy, Texas with business partners while maintaining full ownership of the YaYa Club brand itself. Through both successes and challenges, Angie credits every season of business and partnership as an opportunity for growth, refinement, and deeper understanding of leadership, teamwork, and purpose.

 

Today, YaYa Club is known not only for fashion and gifts, but for its culture. Customers often describe the boutique as warm, welcoming, joyful, and genuine. Angie believes that culture starts with people, and she credits the incredible women on the YaYa Club team for helping create an environment centered around kindness, service, authenticity, and faith.

 

Angie personally spends countless hours researching trends, brands, pricing, and product selection to ensure customers receive both style and value. Whether shopping for a teenager, a grandmother, a husband, a friend, or themselves, customers can always discover something unique inside YaYa Club.

More than anything, Angie believes YaYa Club has always been part of a bigger purpose.

About 15 years into business, she realized God could use something as ordinary as a boutique to impact people in extraordinary ways. Through the years, YaYa Club has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars back into local communities, schools, organizations, families, and causes close to their hearts.

 

Angie often says that while YaYa Club is a for-profit business, its true mission is about people. Inspired by a friend who once described the idea as “Sneaky Jesus,” Angie loves creating a place where customers feel seen, welcomed, encouraged, and loved—whether they come in for a pair of jeans, a prayer request, advice about business, or simply a smile.

When she’s not working, Angie enjoys spending time with her family, supporting her community, hosting live sales, mentoring other business owners, and continuing to grow both YaYa Club and M3 CELLARS alongside her husband.

 

If you are ever in Katy, Texas, Angie hopes you’ll stop by YaYa Club, tune into a live sale, or simply say hello. She still answers her own phone, welcomes conversations about business and life, and believes some of the best connections still happen person to person.
