Matching bodies to bras inspired the creation of Revelation in Fit, a shape-friendly downtown Los Altos lingerie store with 117 sizes. Owner Robynne Winchester opened her first location five years ago.

Revelation in Fit, the lingerie shop at 286 State St. in Los Altos, has planned a sale and giveaways Friday through Sunday to mark its fifth anniversary as an organization.

Owner Robynne Winchester opened the first of her three Bay Area locations five years ago and opened in Los Altos in 2017. She spoke with the Town Crier last week from San Jose, where she and other staff were conducting bra fittings for underserved and homeless women during a day of service.

The Los Altos Youth Commission singles out T4, Baskin-Robbins and AJ Tutoring, pictured, for being teen-friendly businesses.

Since the Los Altos Youth Commission launched its Teen Friendly Business Award program three years ago, members have annually honored a single business for creating a welcoming environment for local teens. This year, the commission selected three.

In past years, commissioners considered businesses across the city’s seven districts and recognized the one that best catered to teens.

House of Treasures has been a downtown mainstay since 1975, moving to its current Second Street address in 1996. Owner Brad Davis plans to retire and close up shop in June.

Multiple factors play into Brad Davis’ approaching retirement and the closure of his Los Altos mainstay House of Treasures in June, but he called recent, serious issues with his eyesight the final “wake-up call.”

“I made the decision a couple of months ago,” Davis said in a phone call with the Town Crier, initiated during one of his slower periods of the day. “I had some vision problems and it scared me. … Things went blurry, I had double vision. … Everything’s OK now.”
