Back in July we had a post pondering whether or not Winestyles was reopening in their old space at 1250 S. Michigan Ave since there was a sign in the window. Since then brown paper has gone up on the windows and we've noticed some movement inside the space.Surprisingly, we haven't heard many rumors about this space. We asked some of the employees at Pita Heaven about the space next to them and they coyly said "something" but wouldn't divulge any information.
After reading some information on everyblock, it appears that a Pastry Shop is coming to this space:
INTERIOR BUILD OUT FOR NEW RETAIL PASTRY SHOP (NO BAKING) AS PER PLANS (NO MECHANICAL WORK UNDER THIS PERMIT)
Has anyone heard anything about this space or have any additional information?
Could be an interesting addition to the neighborhood. We know cupcake shops are a hot trend, maybe that trends is headed for the sloop!

anything is better than empty space but this is the best they could fill it with? great
ReplyDeleteA bakery shop that wont be baking? Huh!
ReplyDeleteTotally kidding(kind of) welcome to the neighborhood!
It's the same owners as Pita Heaven, so perhaps the baking will be taking place next door?
ReplyDeleteGreat, welcome to the neighborhood! We something like this in the area.
ReplyDeleteThat's the corner the cupcake van is always at. I wonder if its her or someone else.
ReplyDeletePita heaven folks are behind this so I am very excited. Have been super impressed with them. Good to see commercial place going to good use. Now if only something better would go into where donnas and acepellas are at. The hood deserves better than bad existing spaces and good to see vacant spaces being used.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed that that was where the cupcake van is alway at. Good luck to them.
