As I dropped a couple of items at Glo Cleaners in Lakewood the other day, it struck me that we hadn't heard much about the Lakewood Paciugo progress lately. (It's slated to go up between Glo and Professional Bank, across the street from Whole Foods.) So I contacted April Charlemagne-Walding, who owns the local franchise with her husband, and asked for an update. Here's what she said: "Right now we are trying to iron out a few details. Hope to start construction in about a month, all things going well." That should put the store's opening at just the right time, as the temperature starts climbing. And hopefully, after picking up a dip or two of gelato, there will be plenty of Whole Foods construction to watch across the street...
Gonna make the parking to drop off clothes even tougher! There is NO parking at all around there.

When one of the plethora of banks fails/merges/moves - perhaps one of the drycleaners will move there and have a drive-up window.

Anyone know what the status is with the apartments next to the Central Market?

Do coyotes like gelato??? This could be bad news!

Anyone have updated information on whether Paciugo is still a go? I thought I saw a Paciugo banner on the store a month or two ago but there is not one there now. That makes me nervous.
Anyone know anything?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that construction on the Paciugo continues; they may just have taken the banner down as part of the construction. But I was by there last week picking up something from the dry cleaners next door, and contractors were still working on the building.

Thanks, Rick. That's very good news!
