LP Squared and Twist Boutique, both women’s clothing shops, and Jati Tua, a furniture store, all opened in newly created retail space that’s part of a bigger renovation project called the Rankin Press Lofts. A new dress shop and Laughing Mask Candies, a candy store, also opened, while Vintage Moon, a thrift store, reopened on the strip.
Two new stores are on the way: Devotion Organics, an organic body products shop, and Old North Supply House, a men’s clothing store. Stirhaus, a new restaurant, is planned for space next door to the Lexington Avenue Brewery, which is expanding and will operate the eatery. (And a pho restaurant is coming to the former Greenlight Cafe space next to Bobo Gallery.)
Also, the Laughing Mermaid Soap Co. is moving to a higher-profile store front at the corner of Lexington and College Street.
