Businesses will soon open at The Washington building on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. (ED BURKE/eburke@saratogian.com)
SARATOGA SPRINGS ? Imagine unpacking 40,000 books.
That?s what Chris Morrow, owner of Northshire Bookstore at 422 Broadway, and his staff are doing now, preparing to open their shop the first week of August.
?We?re putting books on the shelves and getting fixtures ready. We need to get our computer systems set up as well,? he said. ?Yesterday, we installed the upstairs carpet.?
The store is filled with boxes containing cards, gifts, stationery and games as well as the books ? all waiting to be unpacked. Furniture and decorative items stand in groups across the floor.
?The sheer volume of things here is a challenge,? Morrow said. ?But it?s a lot more organized than it looks.?
Northshire Bookstore occupies the north side of the ground floor in The Washington, a Bonacio Construction building whose other tenants will open at various times. Kilwins, a candy and ice cream chain with 80 locations, will have a shop on the ground floor with Northshire and plans to open Aug. 1, owner Bill Hoffman said.
?We?re going crazy getting ready,? he said, smiling.
His 3,500-square-foot shop will sell hand-paddled fudge, chocolates, ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet, among other confectionary. One kitchen is in the front of the store, so customers can watch the treats being made. Hoffman calls his offerings whimsical and fun.
?This is a wonderful community,? said Hoffman, who also owns a Kilwins in Newport, R.I. ?In Newport, the chocolates are shaped like shells and sailing ships. Now we?ll be making horse-shaped candy.?
