Shops—Baby Boutique Eggy Coming to Former Orchid Wrangler Space
November 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment · BABY, COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE, FASHION, HOME, REAL ESTATE
Get word from Conroy Commercial that baby shop Eggy will be moving into the 8365 West 3rd Street space, which used to house the Orchid Wrangler.

Lifestyle shop Zipper closed back in February, and all’s been quiet at the expansive 8316 West 3rd Street space. At some point recently, the ‘for lease’ sign came down, and I’ve heard reports of interior painting in the works. Has anyone heard anything about what’s to come?
