Molbeck's Health and Spice Shop -- "doing business in Racine for more than 50 years" -- has something new for its customers.
Parking!
Yes, the little shop located for so many years at 2703 Washington Ave., across from the Washington Park Golf Course -- chock full of such healthful necessities as whole grains, nuts, dried fruits, seeds, spices, pasta, herbs and myriad vitamins and diet supplements -- has been lacking in that one customer convenience we all demand: a place to park.
No longer! Can you hang on for a few more weeks?
Molbeck's will close its present location on Thursday, Jan. 31, and open its new store, at 3212 Washington Ave. on Monday, Feb. 4. With a parking lot in the rear! The new location is just west of where West Boulevard intersects Washington Avenue, across from Arthur Shattuck's Roots and Legends (and just a few doors down from the temptations of Bendtsen's Bakery.)
Parking isn't all the new location will provide. Molbeck's also has a new owner. Judy Reinhardt, who owned the shop for 19 years, sold it on Jan. 1 to Rhonda Masilian, an employee for the past four years.
As one store opens, full of optimism, another closes. The storefront Molbeck's is moving into is now occupied by Tony's Western Wear, (50% Off, proclaim the window signs) run by Tony Martinez. "It just hasn't worked out," Tony says, wishing he'd chosen a location closer to the Interstate.
A Case retiree 15 years ago, Tony is also a bailiff at the Racine County Courthouse. When he opened the store two years ago, he tried to quit that job, but was told, "Go run your store for a month and you'll want to come back here." He did, and he did, and has been serving as a trial bailiff part-time ever since ... and he'll continue to do so.
I am glad to see Molbecks move. I stopped going there because of the location. West Racine will be perfect, good move!
ReplyDeleteThat's super news. I wonder if Rhonda would be willing to carry organic milk at the new location. Then I could get a lot of my basics in West Racine.
