PlantShed, a family-owned floral business that dates to the 1950s, is opening an outpost in the East Village.
According to Booth Capital Advisors, ownership just signed a lease for 193 Second Ave. at the NW corner of 12th Street.
Upon opening next year, you can find flowers, plants and day-long café service. The first PlantShed retail space opened on the Upper West Side in 1981... the café service arrived later. There are now four PlantShed storefronts — two on the UWS, one on Prince Street and one that debuted last year in Englewood, N.J.
No. 193, a high-profile storefront, has been vacant since Pastel Spa & Nails closed in March 2018.
