The Grosse Pointe Art Center completed its most recent move within the Village and this location is more permanent rather than temporary.
The Grosse Pointe Art Center moved, again. This is the third home for the art center featuring the work of local artists in less than a year. This home, unlike the others, is more permanent, however. The Grosse Pointe Art Center now has a normal lease for its space at 17118 Kercheval Ave. and cannot be willfully moved, said property manager James V. Bellanca Jr. Bellanca manages 18 properties in the Village on behalf of a family trust. The trust has given the art center storefront space for the last several years under an arrangement that allowed it to be moved if a paying tenant were interested in the space. The art center first opened in the Village in the former Village Toy store, where it remained for several years near Kercheval and …

The Grosse Pointe Art Center has relocated within the Village after another business begins expansion into their former space. The Art Center is now located in the former Hickey's Walton Pierce store at the corner of St. Clair Street and Kercheval.
Employees of the Grosse Pointe Art Center are still unpacking following their quick move from one end of the Village to the middle--and only days before opening their next show, Our Rivers Our Lakes. The Art Center has called home a storefront closer to Cadieux Road for a few years at 16900 Kercheval Ave. It moved into the former that space after Village Toy moved closer to CVS. Housing artwork of the members of the Grosse Pointe Artists Association, the store offers a wide variety of artwork, jewelry, blown glass and more. The executive director of the center, Amy DeBrunner, said the move was spurred by an expansion happening with City Kitchen. The Artists Association is a non-profit organization and needed a location to display and sell …

The locally owned and operated carpet and flooring store previously housed in the City of Grosse Pointe is relocating to Grosse Pointe Woods. Renovations are currently underway.
Crowther Carpets and Rugs is moving into the former Shelby Paint store on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods. Renovations are under way at the new location and the former site in the City of Grosse Pointe has been vacated. Passersby have been notified of the change with some signage. At first in the new location, a small board sign posted in the window alerted passersby to occupancy of the vacant store front by Crowther Carpets. More formally, official signage has since been installed on the front and the back of the building—making the transformation from the faded Shelby Paints sign to the Crowther. Grosse Pointe Woods Building Official Gene Tutag said the renovations were expected to take at least a couple of weeks. Several attempts …

Renovations have been underway for weeks at a vacant Grosse Pointe Woods storefront in preparation for the relocation of Grosse Pointe Music Academy, which serves approximately 300 families. The academy, which offers individual and group music lessons and houses the national program for toddlers, Music Together, is currently housed in Grosse Pointe Park on Mack Avenue near Cadieux Road. The owner, Henry Bahrou, wanted to find a location with more of a neighborhood feel, academy music teacher and social media coordinator Jennifer Teets said. The new location, which will open April 16, is the former Village Cleaners Mack Avenue at 19443 Mack Ave. Construction workers have been building the space, which was pretty much wide open, into …

The boutique shop featuring women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories, shoes and more moved out of the Village and into a free-standing building on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods.
La Jolie Rose/Hannah Bear Boutique has a whole new look after relocating from the Village into a free-standing building on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods. The building offers an open space with many windows and natural light, which help highlight all of the merchandise on display in the locally owned boutique. Merchandise includes women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories, shoes and more. Owner Rose Marchese closed her business for a little less than two weeks to complete the move. She planned ahead for it with careful ordering during the holiday season to ensure she would not have an excess of merchandise to move. She enjoyed her time in the Village, where she opened her doors in September of 2008, but she decided to move …

The City of Grosse Pointe worked with Neighborhood Club Thrift Shop officials to find a suitable location for the community thrift shop that was displaced by the demolition of its former site.
Employees of the Neighborhood Club Thrift Shop are unpacking their merchandise and organizing it in their new space this week. The century-old community resale shop is relocating to 17888 Mack Ave. between Rivard and Washington in the City of Grosse Pointe. Officials are not yet sure of the exact date the store will open, Neighborhood Club spokeswoman Amy Roy said. It will be determined after employees have completed unpacking the merchandise and figured out the configuration of the store, she said. The store had to relocate because its former home at Waterloo and Notre Dame was demolished to make way for a new community health and fitness center that is a joint project between Beaumont Hospital Grosse Pointe and the Neighborhood Club. …

Comfort Care, which provides services to keep people living independently at home, has moved to a larger office in the City.
Comfort Care, the private duty home care agency formerly at 17848 Mack Ave., in the City, has taken up residence in a new, larger location down the road to better serve Grosse Pointe’s elderly and infirm. The family-owned agency, which provides a wide array of services to help people remain independent and active in their own homes as long as possible, has moved into the former site of Curves at 18150 Mack in the City. The agency’s president, Pete Maniaci, said the extra space was badly needed. “We started out six years ago in a twelve by ten office at Mack and Rivard,” he said, saying that over the years the business spread into two adjacent offices. “We needed more space to function better, and one day I was driving down Mack and saw the…

The Grosse Pointe Woods city council will consider a variance request to allow for the resale shop as an ordinance prohibits any business from selling more than 25 percent of used goods.
The Neighborhood Club Thrift Shop is trying to find a new home as it's former location at Waterloo and St. Clair Street is about to undergo demolition. Tonight the Grosse Pointe Woods city council, meeting as the Zoning Board of Appeals, will make a decision about whether to allow the non-profit resale shop to locate in a vacant Mack Avenue store front. The public hearing is set to begin at 7:35 p.m. at the Grosse Pointe Woods municipal building and will include comment, if there is any, from supporters as well as those who may oppose it. The 3,000-square-foot building, 19483 Mack Ave., formerly housed Shelby Paint. It could become the Neighborhood Club Thrift Shop's permanent home. The building's owner, Chris Mannino, is seeking the …

The story above says that they are required to keep the wedding dresses displayed in one of the windows, I hope they are allowed to incorporate some art among the dresses otherwise it's just going to be very awkward. The former location always had good visuals for people passing by. more ›
