By Giovanni Centurione:
Opening Monday is one of downtown’s newest retailers, Althea’s 2nd Time Around boutique, located at 661 Main Street (see more). This new shop takes up residence in the recently restored Pierce Building across from Shea’s Buffalo, offering a wide selection of men, women, and children’s clothing, accessories, furniture and artwork.
This is an exciting time for Buffalo’s Theater District, as construction of auto-sharing broke ground last week with the goal to bring new businesses back to block. Already, we are seeing people such as Althea Little take an interest in setting up shop here. I should point out, Althea also owns and operates, ‘Hair to go Natural Hair Salon’ located on the 700 block of Main Street. The name, ‘2nd Time Around’ has alot of meaning to Ms. Little as this is a new business for her, a new begining, and of course, a second chance for all items being sold in her store.
Althea started this business because she had so much clothing “stored away” in her home that she had either purchased over the years or people just gave to her. With a lack of consignment shops, and not one located downtown, she decided to open up her own. She also envisions Main Street as a shopping destination once again, when traffic returns and more investments are made along the block as they have been recently.
What you will find at Althea’s 2nd Time Around are stylish and fine quality wear and pieces that appear brand new. Men’s suits, winter jackets, ladies’ dresses, fur coats, scarves, and all sorts of wearable treasures. A very wide selection to fit just about anyone’s personal style.
