In May,
a reader told us that the Duane Reade on 14th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue would be moving into the former HSBC bank space (right next to the CVS) on First Avenue... just north of East 14th Street...
As the Grievestrator shows, the move would look something like this...
And now a reader points us to
the new listing (PDF) for the soon-to-be-former Duane Reade space...
That's a lot of space, which may be too much for our used mixed cassette tape/zine shop. Or our Egg Store.
The last time a big chunk of retail like this was available on East 14th Street,
the space became an IHOP.
A few things... the retail listing only mentions the nearby chains-franchises... and one of them, the AT&T store the next block to the west, recently closed...
As for the new Duane Reade on First Avenue, you likely will have to wait... the interior is still a major construction zone...
