The 5th Avenue storefront that used to be a sales office for the Argyle condo now has two new businesses: a dry cleaner and an eyebrow threading salon. According to a suspiciously fawning review on Yelp, the threading biz is the first of its kind in the Slope.

  1. The place does not look like the picture taken above its way nicer. Any way I have been there three times, there not just a eyebrow threading place, its a full service salon and prices seem to be cheap compared to most salons in PS.

  2. I don’t think it’s true, Dave.

    I look at rents for commercial properties quite regularly, and I’ve never seen anything on 7th even approaching that number, unless it’s an absolutely ginormous space.

    I know that the new Turkish place that just opened up on 7th is paying 7500 and it’s bigger than the Yogurt place.

    I know this will come as a shock to you, but not everything on this blog is true. ;))

  3. I heard it on here quite awhile ago. I remember doing an analysis of how many they’d have to sell to take care of salaries for 3 people, utilities and the rent. I assumed the gross margin on the ingredients itself was 75%. The shop had to sell thousands a day.

  4. 11217, i recall you living up the street from me. oddly, i think i may have run into you , but not sure. i’ll be walking by that store tonight when i park, and will pop my head in to ask what’s coming.

  5. I’m not really sure where that 14K figure started out, Dave. Do you? Most 7th Avenue storefronts are more like 6-8K and down on 5th, they are more like 4-6K a month.

    A lot for sure, but not 14K.
