🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨
Too soon? Probably. Accurate? Unfortunately, yes.
🎃 Spirit Halloween is getting ready to open in SIMSBURY, taking over the former Bob's Stores space at 504 Bushy Hill Road in Simsbury Commons.
The seasonal retailer is already hiring, which means Halloween displays are about to start appearing while most of us are still worrying about sunscreen and beach traffic.
Summer isn't over...but Spirit Halloween clearly didn't get the memo.

🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨
A familiar pizza spot in Old Avon Village has a new chapter.
Avon Pizza Company is set to open this Tuesday, June 16th at 33 East Main Street in AVON, taking over the space most recently occupied by Amoroso Pizza (and before that, Hot Heaven Pizza).
The new owners shared that their focus is simple: quality ingredients and food made fresh to order. The menu will feature hand-stretched Greek-style pizzas, house-made marinara, grinders, signature burgers, and authentic Greek platters.
Are you team pizza, grinder, burger, or Greek platter? Let us know below. 👇

🚨 SCOOP UPDATE 🚨
Remember when we shared last year that Bareburger was coming to AVON?
As with most small business openings, the road hasn't been perfectly smooth, but we're happy to report they're in the home stretch.
While the signage isn't up just yet at 380 West Main Street (Avon Marketplace), hiring is underway and excitement is building.
We recently spoke with the team at the Bareburger Glastonbury location, who shared that the Avon restaurant is currently expected to open sometime in the middle to end of summer.
That means Farmington Valley burger lovers may not have much longer to wait for grass-fed burgers, plant-based options, build-your-own creations, and all the other menu favorites Bareburger is known for.
We'll continue to keep an eye on progress and share updates as we get them.

🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨
After 7 years of welcoming local families, It's Playtime at 380 West Main Street AVON (Avon Marketplace) is exploring its next chapter.
For families wondering: It's Playtime **remains open and operating as usual**, with no immediate changes to day-to-day activities.
Behind the scenes, the current owner is seeking a business interested in taking over the existing space, which is built out with features that could make it an ideal fit for a childcare or daycare operation.
The approximately 5,000-square-foot space includes existing play areas, a kitchen, craft room, handicap accessibility, and equipment that may be available as part of a transition.
This could be an exciting opportunity for the right daycare operator, or other business, looking to serve local families.
Interested parties can contact It's Playtime directly for additional information.

A purr-fectly unique new business is coming to GRANBY
9 Lives Cafe is planning to open later this summer at 335 Salmon Brook Street.

🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨
A local favorite is getting a whole lot bigger.
POSH Party Spa has relocated to a brand-new space at Riverdale Farms (136 Simsbury Road, Building 3) in AVON.

The larger space will also make room for new offerings, including Crafty & Chic Parties, along with additional Kid’s Night Out opportunities and expanded summer programming.
Congratulations to Dara and the entire POSH team on this exciting next chapter! 🎉

📍 BEYOND THE VALLEY SCOOP 📍
A Farmington Valley favorite is growing. ☕
Giv Coffee in CANTON is teaming up with Eatery to open a brand new shared space in Berlin, CT.
The new location will be opening at:
📍 848 Farmington Ave, Berlin, CT 06037
Giv Coffee shared that the new space will bring everything customers already know and love about the Canton location, paired with favorite food offerings from Wallingford’s Eatery…creating a collaborative concept centered around great coffee, food, and community.
The new Berlin location is currently targeting an Early June opening.
We always love seeing local businesses continue to grow beyond the Farmington Valley while still staying rooted in what made people love them in the first place. ❤️
Important note for Farmington Valley regulars: this is a second location, not a move. The current Canton spot isn’t going anywhere. 👏
