BIZNOTES: Opening date set; store for sale; home-selling secrets

Three biznotes tonight:

OPENING DATE SET: Eight months after we first reported that Gene Juarez Salon & Spa was on the way to the former Sound Credit Union space at 4730 California SW, they’ve set the opening date: April 16. (Thanks for the tip!)

STORE FOR SALE: According to an online listing, the Shorewood Grocery is for sale – both the business and the third-acre it sits on at 10445 26th SW. Records show it last changed hands less than three years ago. Since then, it’s been hit by multiple crash-and-grab burglaries.

THINKING ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME? Also on the topic of real estate, if you’re considering selling your home, West Seattle Realty (2715 California SW; WSB sponsor) wants to share with you “the tricks of the trade for selling your home in this market to ensure your success!” It’s a free event at WSR at 6 pm this Wednesday (March 26). They elaborate, “We will discuss Timing & Strategy, Preparing your Home for the Market, the Importance of Pricing, and will reserve plenty of time for your questions!” in a “casual evening.” They request RSVPs so they can plan – in**@***************ty.com is where to send yours.

I really, really hope Shorewood Grocery continues to be a little convenience store. It’s the only walkable shop for a lot of the neighborhood and is definitely beloved.

Here’s hoping highland park corner shop expands to our corner!

We’d love to do a Shorewood Corner Store! It would take some outside investment to do it…

Damn Shame that the Owners haven’t told the workers at Shorewood yet apparently. I was just there and asked about it, my main man who’s always there hadn’t heard. I feel like an ass but, blame the owners lack of communication. I’ve loved that place for the years and years I’ve been in AH. I hope it stays a shop!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this work, it’s to keep an eye on public records regarding your workplace … not just places put up for sale, but for example, liquor-license filings for new owners of an establishment whose current owners hadn’t told their workers they were selling/closing … But again, a sale does not necessarily mean a change in use. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
