Updated 2/22: Thanks to the reader comments, we now know who the new tenant is — East Village Buyers, relocating here from Third Street. Find the story here.
-------
Renovations are underway inside the vacant storefront at 39 Avenue A between Second Street and Third Street...
Unfortunately, workers at the space said they didn't know who the new tenant would be...
Until 2020, the space was home to Essex Card Shop... which moved one block to the north.
Last summer, the Cooper Square Committee, Village Preservation and East Village Community Coalition released a report titled "Crisis and Adaptation: Storefront Trends in the East Village, 2019 – 2021," ... which named these retail spaces in the NYCHA-owned First Houses on Avenue A between Second Street and Third Street as "vacancy hotspots."

It's the sneakers guy on 3rd street. He's moving in to a bigger space
Ooh, that’s great! A unique shop, deserves a better trafficked location and higher exposure.
Wonderful! Maybe another card shop?
