Coming soon signage for a barber shop along 58-72 Avenue A arrived this past Friday afternoon.
There are currently five vacant spaces in this block-long residential building (aka Untitled) between Fourth Street.
The storefront next to the corner liquor store has been vacant since the lottery shop closed before the pandemic.
During renovations here in February 2023, workers uncovered ghost signage for a long-ago shop that sold carriages, strollers and toys.
The barber shop joins Mast Books, March Gallery and the liquor store as the retail tenants of No. 58-72.
A private-equity firm purchased the building from the longtime owners in an off-market deal in the fall of 2022.
