Village businesses opening

By reporter Steven Smalley

Current and Furbish, the latest retail establishment in the space formerly occupied by Cocoa (Correction) and Cream at 3208 West McGraw Street, is about to open its doors for business Saturday. Calling it a soft opening, owners say they plan a Grand Opening later in May. Timing may be right for those who plan to give something nice for Mother?s Day, graduation, or Father?s Day ? this new store will feature home accessories, toys, and gifts.

As previously reported in Magnolia Voice, it will offer gently used and new merchandise along with colorful art created by owner, Scott Ward.

Coincidentally, another storefront in the village offering similar items is about to open in May as well. In the space previously housing a fitness establishment just north of Albertsons’ parking lot at 2560 32^nd Avenue West, there is a business not yet open called, Nifty Toy & Gift. At press time there was no further information available.

Plus, add one more to the mix ? Realtors confirm a lease is about to receive signatures for the retail enterprise just south of Mondello?s restaurant in the Bellagio complex. Mum?s the word on what it will be.

Best of luck to all.
