Pa. liquor store to open next to Target near 11th and Chestnut

Expect more. Pay less. Then drink and be merry.

Target's neighbor in Center City's Market East neighborhood will be a jumbo-sized wine and spirits shop, as the area's growing base of residents and restaurants stokes the demand for booze.

Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board members voted in August to lease space near 11th and Chestnut Streets beside the future Target, spokesman Shawn Kelly said Wednesday.

The Fine Wine and Good Spirits shop will occupy about 14,000 square feet of ground floor and basement space in a mixed-use development now under construction by Brickstone Cos., said Larry Steinberg, a senior vice president at real estate brokerage CBRE.

Last month, Target said that it planned to open a 19,000-square-foot store at the site in July 2016. Together, the two stores will occupy all the project's street-level retail space, said Steinberg, who represented Brickstone in the deal.

The new liquor store will replace a smaller shop at 12th and Chestnut, Steinberg said. The PLCB - which operates the state's spirits shops - likely anticipates increased retail business from the growing number of nearby residents, he said.

The Brickstone project and the East Market development across the street include about 400 new residential units in total.

But the state agency has restaurant-industry customers in mind, too. The new location, which will open in spring 2016, will feature a loading dock where restaurants can pick up bulk beverage orders, Kelly said.

That will help the state board accommodate what is already a booming restaurant district, Steinberg said. The East Market development and the revamped Gallery at Market East a few blocks away will introduce even more dining establishments to the area.

"The restaurant industry continues to expand inside Center City and we're seeing it happen in a lot of the major developments taking place east of Broad Street," Steinberg said.

Five Below preps 'flagship store' in ex-theater

The biggest-ever Five Below discount store is prepped for its official opening Sept. 10, 9:30 a.m. It's a two-story location at 1529 Chestnut Street, in the old Arcadia Theater.

The Philadelphia-based, 25-state, 400-store chain pitches "extreme value merchandise" to junior-high and elementary-school kids. Shares have traded in the mid-$30s lately, double their 2012 IPO value but off 30% from the 2013 high, on lower-than-expected profit growth. Shares fell in after-hours trading today after another unexciting earnings report.

Funny that a (five) dollar store would use the term flagship. If they're a local company though I'll allow it

Isn't there a Fine Wine and Good Spirits store, big one at that, at 1218 Chestnut? Is that one going to be closing?

Briefly, was not impressed but that could be said about many liquor stores in PA.

I'm assuming they mean relative to the newly designed "Fine Wine and Good Spirits" stores they have been rolling out like the massive flagship store at 21st and Market. Relative to those, the 12th and Chestnut store is a complete shithole.

The article says that the new location is supposed to replace the 1218 location.

I guess I should've read the article before commenting.

No worries. We're all often skimming these posts on the fly. I just zeroed in on that because that precise question came to my mind.

More on PennDesign's upgrades to Meyerson Hall:

http://http://www.archpaper.com/news...0#.VejXgXgYoZZ











Quote:
Wrapping around the north side of Meyerson, the addition’s crystalline curtain wall is punctuated by moveable pin-up walls that slide behind the glass, creating a mosaic on the building’s facade. It cantilevers over a monumental stair leading to a second floor “commons” flanked by gallery space and a café. “When you get to the top of that stair, the view down the whole side of the building frames the apse of the Fischer Fine Arts Library, the studio where [Louis] Kahn taught,” Erdy said.

Over the past three summers, Erdy’s team has been renovating studio space on the second, third, and fourth floors and fortifying Meyerson’s mechanical systems. “We’ve been working very hard to make the renovation happen within an occupied building,” Erdy said.

well if its bigger and better than their other area locations its a flagship store regardless. Their market is young people and there are a lot of such people who walk up and down chestnut street. I'm sure they will do big business at this location.

Because I know this has been talked about in embarrassment for those chain link fences we've had for over a decade...

LOOK: Gorgeous New Gates Going Up at City Hall
These new, historically appropriate gates control access to City Hall’s courtyard.
