Most low end and mom and pop shop retailers won't be able to afford the rent on this corner. I've lived on 7th street for eight years. This area has significantly changed since 2010. Maybe something other than a Starbucks or Duane Reade could go there. Otherwise, I don't see how any business can thrive there.

I couldn't tell if it was new products or vintage or handmade. Is it for kids or adults? Maybe the space needs to be divided into smaller stores that are more manageable by small-biz owners. There is little non-food retail on Ave B until 11th st going north and 4th or 3rd going south, so not much "shopping" traffic is heading to this spot. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
