The summer has been very quiet but many retailers in the South End have been busy. Here is some South End gossip that has been making its rounds.
Lekker Home is moving
Lekker has plastered moving signs on their windows in their Wilkes Passage shop on Washington Street for the past few weeks. Despite assurances that they would be announcing their new location earlier this week the shopkeepers remain quiet about the new location and too many conflicting rumors make it difficult to ascertain so you’ll have to check back on their Facebook page for details.
Viola Lovely at 1409 Washington is expected to open in the space that was formerly Reside. This shop will be the third location for the Concord, MA based retailer that sells apparel, accessories and lifestyle designer products.
Future home of Farm & Fable
Farm & Fable is located on the corner of Shawmut Ave and Milford Street. With any luck F&F will be opening soon. The retailer will sell vintage cookbooks and has built space to host cooking demonstrations and classes. More details are in my June post here.
7-Eleven at Rollins Square Residents in Rollins Square received notice earlier this month that in November the 7-Eleven that opened 10 years ago will be leaving the South End digs. While some residents may cheer their leaving, I’m left wondering how far I’ll have to walk to grab bags of ice or mixers when we run out late in the evening. I hope another convenience store will take its place.
