Port to keep video store ... I guess

I found this little piece, from today's Daily News, very interesting:

Express Video has found a new home.

Owner Peter Herman said Friday the video store will be relocating from its current location behind CVS to the Tannery at the end of April. Until then, it will stay open at the rear of the shopping plaza and will continue to rent new releases.

The store has to vacate where it is now to make room for an expansion by CVS, Herman said recently, making its future uncertain. Herman had hung "Store Closing" signs in the windows, but continued to look for a new spot.

"All of our customers are pretty excited about it," Herman said.

The store has been in Newburyport for 20 years. Herman will be moving the shop into where the Birdwatcher store used to be located.

I had heard weeks ago that something else was going into that empty storefront in The Tannery and I confirmed this last week (but the person or persons did not want me to put it in print until the deal was finalized).

Very interesting indeed ...
