Tiny Empire's short run ends on Lafayette Street

Brooklyn-based juicery Tiny Empire opened a location down on Lafayette Street at Spring last August... by November, the DOH had shut down the location over some zoning issue with the downstairs bathroom, as BoweryBoogie noted.

By the end of January, a "temporarily closed" for "emergency maintenance/construction" signage arrived.

And Tiny Empire never reopened. On Wednesday, the Marshal paid a visit... and the landlord took legal possession of the space...

Tiny Empire opened in Williamsburg a few years back.

Here's owner Anthony Spadaro in an interview with Cool Hunting from January:

"I was part of a strange teen angst movement called vegan/straight-edge; ultimately a continuation of punk. We hung out in skate shops, backyard half pipes and health food stores in upstate New York; caused trouble, skated and drank juice (sort of the antithesis of what people think of when they think juice). The activism fell off a while back, but juice has remained pretty constant. I came to the end of a career as a tattooer a few years ago, and it seemed obvious to pursue something based in juice/health, so I opened a juice bar in Woodstock, NY in 2010 (not Tiny Empire), and then Tiny Empire in 2012."
