Tsuru Moving to New Downtown Location

Tsuru, a locally-owned boutique, is moving to a new downtown location in July.  The new space is next to the Novel Idea.  Matel Rokke, the owner, has had the boutique for three years which features clothing, jewelry and accessories.

If you are looking for a small retail shop in downtown, come take a tour!  This street retail space consists of 830 square feet and great visibility!  The space is next to the Rocco Theatre and east of the Wells Fargo Center.  Contact Marc Snow, NAI FMa Realty at 441-5819 for more information.

Clocktower Adding New Tenants

Clocktower shopping center sounds like it will fill some of its vacancies.  The new owners commented that a sports bar, sports apparel store and a shoe store have committed to opening at the center.  Jimmy John's is a newer tenant as well.  Good to see new openings at the center.

Last Call for Local Bars

A couple of local bars have announced their "last call" for Lincoln.  Yesterday, the space that currently houses 1st Avenue Bar and Reception Hall located at NW 1st and Cornhusker Hwy. came on the market as available for lease effective May 2010.  WC's Lounge (business) at 1226 P Street is now on the market for sale.  Some of you might remember that the building was recently bought by B & J Partnership.  And another long-established bar location has been available for lease in southeast Lincoln in the Alamo Shopping Center.  The bar had been Bleachers for a number of years but the business sold in early 2009.  The new bar owners renovated the space and changed the name to The Element Sports Bar and Grill but their hardwork did not pay off because it closed by fall 2009.  So if you are looking to get into the bar business there are plenty of opportunities!

Good Life Fitness Opens on Van Dorn
