WARSAW — Two stores in downtown Warsaw are on the move.
Maggie’s Coffee and Treats will be relocating from the 100 block of East Center Street to a block south to the corner of South Buffalo and Market streets where Infinity Salon has been located for eight years.
Christa Brown opened Maggie’s last summer but is moving to the new location, which she said will offer more space, better visibility and better parking.
The store is expected to reopen in May after interior changes are made to accomodate the use.
“Our anticipated open date is right around May 1. I’d like it to be sooner, we’ll see how it goes,” Brown said.
Meanwhile, Infinity Salon, owned by Christa Harman, is moving to a newly constructed standalone store on North Detroit Street near the Lassus gas station and Via Credit Union.
The new location will allow the business to expand from 11 employees to about 17, Harman told News Now Warsaw.
“We’ll have a parking lot and it will give us an opportunity to have more services. We’re adding more hair stylists, nail technicians, estheticians,” Harman said.
The downtown has seen numerous moves in the past year. Male Fashions had been on East Center and is now adjacent to Infinity Salon’s current store. Other changes include the opening of B+B Courthouse Market and Rocksteady Pizza Parlour. Renovations to numerous other downtown properties are also underway.
She said she felt attached to the downtown but had several reasons for making the move.
“I’ll always have a heart for downtown, but I really do feel like the city does need to do something about the parking because it does limit it,” Harman said.
She said the salon is expected to open on March 5.
