After 16 years in the East Village,
Pink Olive is closing its gift and stationery boutique on Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Founder Grace Kang, who opened her first shop here in 2007, made the announcement via an email to its patrons (as well as on
Instagram).
Over the years, we have weathered countless challenges together, and it is these shared experiences that make this decision even more difficult. However, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Various factors have led me to this decision, and while it fills me with sadness, I am also eager to embrace the new possibilities that lie ahead.
Our final days of operation will be filled with mixed emotions. Thank you to the East Village community and the amazing team that started it all. I'm so grateful to you!
The East Village shop will be open until Aug. 29, "or until we sell out." Her outposts in the West Village and up in Cold Spring will remain in business.
