Newington Business Mini Brief: July 2024

We have a few new scoops to tell you about. Read about them in this "mini" brief!

-Verizon (36 Fenn Road) will be moving their location to 12 Fenn Road, the newly built annex to Fenn Road Plaza joining Jersey Mike's Subs, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Salsa Fresca Mexican Grill, and Haven Hot Chicken. Verizon will round out the building to achieve 100% occupancy! A sign on both the current and future location confirms the move. No timeline on the move has been given. Work is beginning on the interior build-out of the new space. The Fenn Road location has been under the Wireless Zone franchise for years.

-The Shop Newington (287 Main Street) will be relocating their barber shop to 139 Lowrey Place, the former Garrett's Barber Shop/Galaxy Salon space at Northwood Plaza! The Shop joins Sky Zone as new tenants to the downtown shopping center. Buildout of the new space has begun. No timeline on the transition at this time. Also, no word if a new tenant has been found for their current space.

-Gas Man (476 Fenn Road) is now branded as a Citgo gas station. The station has been under the Gas Man brand since opening over a decade ago. Ahamed LLC remains as the business owner. Building and Electrical Permits were filed with the town back in January. The transition has finally been completed.

-The former Hartford Veterinary Hospital space (2300 Berlin Turnpike) has been sold to Nutmeg Properties, LLC as of June 26, and will once again be home to a veterinarian! Nutmeg Veterinary Hospital will be opening in the space well known in town as being the office of beloved veterinarian William Haines. Dr. Haines sadly passed away last year, and Hartford Vet closed their doors. Once we know more about Nutmeg, we will give an update.

-I just found this one. The building at 27-33 East Cedar Street has recently added two tenants. A&D Homecare has occupied the former Paper Station space at 29 East Cedar Street. Their address when searching them online is still listed as 27 Garfield Street. Rejuvenate Massage Therapy and Spa has occupied a former accounting office at 31 East Cedar Street next to Roma Tailors. Again, I am unsure of how long both businesses have been there, however it had to have been recent. Not much information can be found on them online. Just thought it would be good to point out this information.
