Over the past few years, Bergen between Flatbush and Fifth Avenue has become one of Park Slope’s most vibrant shopping strips, with an independent bookstore, several eateries and a couple of clothing shops. Now two more retailers are about to call the street home. Within the next several months both kiddie-centric Gymboree and adult-centric Toys in Babeland will be opening stores on Bergen, according to Matthew Pintchik. Pintchik is one of the owners of Pintchik Hardware, and his family has invested in the area since 1912. Gymboree will temporarily take the space at the front of Pintchik Hardware on Flatbush and Bergen before it moves into its permanent digs further down the street. Pintchik says that Gymboree’s temporary location is still on the market, and his family is in talks with a number of national retailers who are considering leasing the storefront, including big boys like McDonald’s. We’re not ruling out anyone at this point, though we’ve been trying to create a community with the stores that have leased space on Bergen, says Pintchik. Trader Joe’s, please call me up.

I would be more embarrassed to run into my neighbors at Gymboree.
Yup, I’m guessing you are the only one.
You are so uptight, 3:14 that you think people in PS don’t know you have sex? EVERYONE has sex!
My god you are the kinda person who think her shit don’t stink too, aren’t ya?
Gee, am I the only person who might prefer to shop at the Babeland in Manhattan rather than running into my neighbors while buying sex toys in Park Slope?
you just described my monday, 2:57.
Just think: Get off the 2/3, pick up some paint thinner at Pinchiks, a sub at City Sub and some ben wa balls at Babe’s. A perfect evening!
just bought a nice pair of shoes from private stock last week. nice guy who runs the place.
also love city sub and the new organic heights place looks SUPER inviting.
babeland is gonna be a score with all the people getting off at the bergen 2/3 stop right there on their way home from work…
babeland, WOOT!
so long, creepy pink pussycat store.
Anyone ever try that Philly CheeseSteak place around the corner on Flatbush?
So far from the “most vibrant shopping strip”
