S&S Bliss opened this past Thursday at 199 E. Third St. between Avenue A and Avenue B, in the space that previously housed an unlicensed smoke shop.
The sisters who own the new business — a grocery and snack store with a small health-care section — prefer to stay off-camera, but told us they're aiming to keep things simple and secure.
Shoppers are buzzed in and out of the space.
"We're a women-owned shop, and we take security very seriously," one of the owners said when asked about the setup.
There are no cigarettes for sale, though they're considering applying for a lottery and beer license down the line.
A banner is currently up out front; permanent signage should arrive in a couple of weeks.
Hours:
Sunday–Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Thursday–Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.
