Owner Szilva Harman expects to open this spring. “I wish we could be more specific, but that’s all we can say for now.”

“We are inching along with our permits for the buildout at our new location. Inching is the way permits go, it seems,” Harman wrote in an update to customers. “Flair Trade will have new floors, walls, ceiling, lights and more.”

Store background

Flair Trade closed under former owner Jennifer Harrison in September.

Harrison said the store lost its lease in The Shops at Fresh Market to make make room for the TJX’s Home Sense concept store and Total Wine. Total Wine plans to move from Birkdale Village.
