The storefront shuffle continues along 250 E. Houston St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.
We previously
mentioned that the FedEx Office Print & Ship Center was moving into a newly renovated space a few doors away.
Meanwhile, Kapri Cleaners is staying in this strip, as EVG contributor Stacie Joy reports...
They'll be moving at the end of the month...
The Subway (sandwich shop) doesn't have a sign up, though workers told Stacie that this is their last week. They do not know if a new location is in the cards.
The Dunkin'/Baskin-Robbins combo is closing. Workers said they hope to move nearby but do not know where just yet.
Lastly, China Town has not been open ... there wasn't any signage about a move or closure for patrons...
The Mattress Mart
previously shuttered along this corridor.
So why all the movement? We've heard rumblings (via several EVG commenters) about a new residential building for this strip — perhaps something like EVGB
that swallowed up the small businesses along 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B a few years back.
However, this is speculation at this point: Nothing about a new building or demolition has shown up in DOB records.
Thanks to Stacie Joy for the photos!
