Little Shop of Stories children's bookstore in downtown Decatur, Ga., is planning to expand into the space next door that was vacated by the relocation of Vivid Boutique, Decaturish reported, adding that co-owners Dave Shallenberger and Diane Capriola "will tear down the wall to add more retail space."
"Nothing is set in stone yet," said Lindsay Pingel, event coordinator for Little Shop of Stories. "There are going to be some walls torn down. We're going to have to create an opening from our current space into the new space. It's going to take a little bit of time.'
Inventory manager Justin Colussy-Estes added: "It's all a big cloud of mystery at the moment. It's a big empty space, and we're excited to move in. We're throwing ideas at the owners, Dave and Diane."
Capriola said that while the timeline depends on the scope of work and getting permits in place, "Our hope is sometime this spring we'll be in that space as well.... I suspect that if we have to close it will just be for a couple of days. I think the work we have to do won't impact the existing side that much."
