Foster's Homeware to reopen in new spot Oct. 31
 |
Last week, Felicia D. tipped you off to Foster's Homeware's plan to move from 399 Market to 33 N. Third Street, the site of a former gallery. Owner Ken Foster tells Meal Ticket that Sat., Oct 31 will definitely see the debut of the new space, which is slightly smaller than his current digs. It'll be spread out over two floors, with product upstairs and their demo kitchen and cooking school downstairs. Foster also mentions a slight tweak in approach. "We're keeping the same mix and philosophy of well-designed modern housewares," he says, "but we're going away from big brand names that are in department stores and focusing on more unusual, quirky companies." Both this shift and the move, Foster adds, are meant to up the shop's profile as a boutique destination.
There's no big grand opening gala or anything planned, but since they will be debuting on Halloween, Foster says they might offer "a few treats."
