The Queen of Versailles shop opening in Ocoee

Jackie Siegel is opening The Queen of Versailles shop in the Thrift-Mart located in the city of Ocoee.

The shop is inspired by the upcoming musical, "The Queen of Versailles," which is set to premiere this summer. 

The musical follows the story of Siegel and her husband, David, as well as their eight children as they aim to build the largest private home in America — a $100 million house in Orlando, big enough for Siegels' dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. But with the Great Recession of 2008 looming, the Siegel's dreams begin to crumble, along with their lavish lifestyle.

At the shop, Siegel will sell her designer fashion at affordable prices, with all proceeds going to benefit the Victoria's Voice Foundation.

The foundation was born from the tragic loss of the Siegels' daughter, Victoria, who died from a drug overdose in 2015 at the age of 18 years old. 

The foundation's mission is to advance initiatives, achieve policy changes, amplify education, assure critical resources and applaud like-minded organizations to address drug abuse to help save lives.

The local Thrift-Mart also features both new and used clothing, household goods, appliances, furniture, electronics, toys, tools, and more.

A special preview opening event for the shop will be held from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, May 18, at Thrift-Mart inside the Westgate Resorts facility at 10770 W. Colonial Drive, Ocoee.

The event will include meet-and-greets with contestants from Miss Florida America and samples from Siegel's new luxury line of coffee. In addition, Siegel's new line of purses will be on show.
