Area, the Brooklyn mini chain of yoga studios, spas, as well as kids clothing and toy stores is expanding. Loretta Gendville will be opening a children's footwear and hair cutting place called "Area Kicks & Cuts" at 274 Smith Street on July 1st.
The storefront was occupied most recently by The Green Onion, which closed in March.
A children's shoe store sounds like a great idea, especially since Peek-A -Boo recently closed on Court Street.
According to the sign in the window, a similar Area shoe store/haircutting place is also opening at 335 5th Avenue.
The Area Empire knows no bounds. What's next? Babyccinos? No wonder Brooklyn is #2 on the poll of cities that have the most spoiled children.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought Brooklyn to be #1 in the spoiled children contest. What city is #1?
ReplyDeleteManhattan.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just merge Area Spa w Area kids ? Oh. That already exists. That Baby Yoga place. ;)
Look all is good I just don't get how those area stores can have so many locations and pay so many rents just selling stuff.
more Area point of view, blah.
ReplyDeleteHow about Area Educate Entitled Parents with Strollers to Behave Respectfully?
ReplyDeleteI know, right??
ReplyDeleteI totally hate it when local people invest in their communities and support their public schools through their businesses. Area does both all the time! Who do they think they are? Opening ANOTHER one? Success should be limited to businesses like Toys R Us. Not these dumb independently owned shops.
