Lots of Commercial Openings on North Flatbush Avenue

Here’s a comprehensive look at exciting openings happening along North Flatbush Avenue, courtesy of the North Flatbush Avenue BID. It’s already been reported that Franny’s is moving from 295 Flatbush Avenue to a Flatbush location closer to 8th Avenue. They plan to close the original Franny’s in three to four weeks. Eventually the owners will open an Italian eatery in the same space. The much-anticipated Shake Shack planned for Flatbush Avenue will arrive in the fall of 2014. The Red Mango Yogurt space (pictured), with signage up on Flatbush and Prospect, should open in April. The owners of Elbow Room (which is opening on Flatbush between Dean and Bergen) will also open a taqueria on Flatbush Avenue. The working title of the restaurant, which will also have an outdoor cafe, is Cooper Station. A TD Bank will open on the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Bergen Street, and the space at 328 Flatbush Avenue, rumored to be an adult novelty store, is instead becoming a pet and pet supply store. The 4,000 square foot space is currently under construction.
