Gallery U Boutique is MOVING to our main campus in Livingston!

As most of you know, we exist as an extension of Universal Institute, Inc. (aka. UIRehab) and are a vocational training site providing work opportunities for adult clients with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).

In an ongoing effort to evaluate our daily routine as it relates to our mission and what best meets the needs of our clients, we are making some strategic changes this year. We are sad to say that we will be leaving our Westfield location in July, but we are excited to announce that we will be centralizing all of our operations at our main campus in Livingston.

As part of our move, our retail business will be geared more toward our own campus as a campus store, but we will be open to the public and we encourage you to visit us. We are grateful to the community of Westfield for you support over the last 5 years.

We have started our "Moving Sale" so come in for great savings while the selection is great!
