An e-bike shop for 1st Street

Signage is up for 52V Primo E-bike in the eastern storefront at 44 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (H/T Mike!)

The signage says "electric bicycle/motorcycle sales and service." 

This will be the second e-bike shop to open in the East Village during the first quarter of 2024. Signage for Daniel's Bike Shop recently arrived on 14th Street near Second Avenue.

There has been a lot of turnover in the two storefronts here since 9300 Realty (aka Steve Croman) purchased the building in February 2011 for $2.3 million...  starting with Julius Klein's studio/gallery space, which moved on in June 2012.

Joli Beauty Bar coming to East 1st Street



The coming soon sign is up for the next retail tenant at 44 E. First St. … Joli Beauty Bar…



Here's more about Joli via a post at Racked back in the spring:

Joli Beauty Bar [is] a "French cafĂ©"–inspired space for makeup applications and lessons, a retail store for under-the-radar beauty brands, blowouts, "depuffing" treatments, and gel nails — all of which you can elect to get with a glass of wine or specialty cocktail in hand.

You can find the Joli website here.

The previous tenant, the plant store/boutique Green Fingers, moved to Rivington Street earlier in the year. The western storefront was briefly home to the hyped laundro-bar Wash House.

Julius Klein had the eastern storefront for years before he was Cromanated in the spring of 2012.
