I just got an email from another group list about a possible bookstore location in JH, and I got permission from the person who sent it to re-post it here. So. . . the following wasn't written by me, it was written by someone else:
I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday season. I wanted to let people know about a space that has become available in Jackson Heights. I know in previous list serve postings, people have been craving a "bookstore", a gourmet food store, etc. The biggest stumbling block has seemed to be the high rental costs in the neighborhood, especially 37th avenue.
There is a space on Northern Boulevard, between 80th and 81st street that is now available. It used to be a used furniture store. I spoke with the managing agent and he is hoping to fill the space with a neighborhood friendly tenant that reflects the needs of the community. His two dream tenets are either a bookstore or an Italian deli. He is aware of the high rent issues in Jackson Heights and says that in addition to Northern Boulevard's competitive rental rates, he would be willing to negotiate a more favorable deal with the "right tenant". He mentioned that he already has a few serious inquires so calling him soon is critical.
If you have an entrepreneurial spirit please give Hal a call on his cellphone: 845-304-7620. Tell him you heard about the space from Braden and here's hoping that there will be a new establishment coming soon that will support the ever growing needs of our diverse community!
