Cure Thrift Shop will have a new high-profile corner space

The for-rent signs have come down from the storefront on the northeast corner of Third Avenue and 12th Street... 
... and a pleasant surprise about the new tenant: Cure Thrift Shop... 
For now, Cure, the eclectic nonprofit that benefits juvenile diabetes research and advocacy, will continue on from its current location at 111 E. 12th St. between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue.

No word on an opening date...but it's good news that the shop will have such a large, high-profile spot in the future.

As previously reported, Basics Plus was set to close in this storefront in the spring of 2019. However, the housewares shop that opened here in August 2014 ended up consolidating the space, and making do with a smaller footprint in the building.

The Cure's new home — officially 91 Third Ave. — first hit the market last summer.

Surprise! Surprise! was the previous housewares tenant, closing in April 2014 after 25 years in business.

    In the early 1960s was the Atlas Barber School, had about 20 or 30 young black barbers learning their trade. I recall they had a sign in the doorway "No Arguments, Take It and Leave It!" Strange but they had a lot of customers who had worked their up from the Bowery. And at 40 cents a haircut what bum was gonna argue with that!

    I miss Surprise! Surprise! but this will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

    In the early 80s this was the home of Hudson's Too, the annex to Hudson's sportswear store next door. (Naturally, there was no link to this, even from the pre-internet days.)
