HERE’S THE SCOOP…
LIQUID NIRVANA OWNER BUYS RED GERANIUM PROPERTY
We are beyond excited about this story! Rosy and Dinesh Kapur of South Glastonbury have purchased the Red Geranium property. Rosy is the owner of Liquid Nirvana Juice and Smoothie Bar in town. She had initially hoped to salvage the building (the inside has some gorgeous old wood features), but unfortunately, it’s in disrepair. Kapur is planning to tear it down and redevelop the property. Liquid Nirvana opened in 2014 in the plaza at 2333 Main Street. A second location later opened in Avon. The business was born after Kapur and her family began making all natural smoothies at home. She has since perfected her recipes and has a huge following. The new development will include retail space and possibly apartments. They hope to sign on businesses with the same “healthy lifestyle” philosophy of Liquid Nirvana. Construction won’t begin until the rotary is complete. Follow us for updates on this story…
THE YOGA SHOP COMING TO TOWN
A new wave yoga studio is opening in Glastonbury. The Yoga Shop, which originated in Old Saybrook, offers a unique style of yoga called LivFree Power Yoga. The name is a combo of the co-founder’s daughters, Livia and Freesia. This type of yoga is called vinyasa and uses heat during classes. We are still waiting to hear back from them on a location and opening date. Stay tuned…
DAYBREAK OPEN SUNDAYS
We learned awhile back that Daybreak Coffee Roasters sold to new owners. Brother and sister duo, Linda and Carmelo, still own the iconic building, but sold the coffee shop to a woman and her nephew a couple of months ago. The new owners recently announced that the popular gathering spot will now be OPEN on Sundays. Their Sunday hours will be 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Stop in and welcome them to town.
CONSIGNMENT STORE RESUMES FULL HOURS
The Second Chance Shop on Hebron Avenue is now open FULL TIME Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. If you don’t know about them, they do amazing work. Their profits go to The Village for Families and Children in Hartford which gives families health, development, and support services. They accept new and gently used clothing, shoes, jewelry and household items. Last year, they donated more than $100-thousand to the organization.
