Flint, the men’s grooming salon on Main Street, was no longer able to weather the economy since opening in February of 2009. As of this week they are closed for business.
This news comes only 1 week after Artisanal Brasserie and The Artisanal Table called it quits at The Bravern, on top of other retailers and restaurants closing within the past few months.
Main Street, although being a popular destination in Downtown Bellevue, has recently had its struggles maintaining tenants. One of the major concerns of prospects is the lack of parking available for visitors. In February we asked readers what they would like to see added to Main Street, and with Flint closing, this adds yet another opportunity for future tenants.
Sad. But sign of the times.
Brutal.
I like the Gene Juarez Bellevue Men’s Salon.
I wish Alan and Sarah Hartgraves the best. They are both quality people who went out of their way to give back to our community.
I concur with Joe. Sarah and Alan are both tremendous people who deserve our thanks. The “Suit yourself” event was extraordinary in what it did to help give hope, direction and a “new” suit to many out of work men in the peak of our recession. They will be missed!
