Optical Store is getting upgrade


Dear Brownstoners,

Important Clarification!
Optical Store is thriving anf therefore getting New furniture.

I am re designing an eyeglass shop in Park Slope. It is a wonderful store with the best glasses in New York City.
Some one saw a post I made about store fixtures and misconstrued my meaning.

I am trying to donate the furniture to someone who needs it. Because I can’t stand throwing furniture out, I made a confusing post.

The Gist is: this store is thriving in a rotten economy and sprucing up after many years with the same store fixtures.

PLEASE Note. The shop is thriving, alive and soon to be spiffed up. I’d like to find a home for the furniture because I am a compulsive recycler.

Please Note. Fabulous store is here to stay.

Debra
