Three New Businesses Nearing Opening on Washington Street

Hoboken seems to have a constant state of flux for many of its businesses. Below are recent photos of businesses on Washington Street that look almost ready to open their doors. Of course, last minute inspections need to be passed,  the Certificate of Occupancy needs to be issued, and any zoning approvals need to be finalized before business can begin. There they go again! Those pesky rules and regulations getting in the way of my Slurpie heaven! :) (Just kidding, I am doing my best to stay away from large amounts of sugar).

7 - Eleven- Equipment such as refrigerators and racks and displays have been delivered and set up based on a sneak peak I got when workers were taking delivery. This store is located at the Southwest corner of 5th and Washington.

Stacks Pancake House and Cafe- This is the site of  a former burger joint Juniors Papaya. As a business that concept didn't do as well as Five Guys, a competitor down the street.  Will the allure of pancakes pack them in like a successful Denny's or an IHOP? Time will tell. This soon to be opened establishment is located between 5th and 6th  on the West side of Washington Street next to East LA.

Oyo Yogurt- This was formerly Mola, a moderately busy coffee shop that turned into an ice cream parlor called Emack and Bolio's when the new owner took over. As a franchise this store never took off and sold very little ice cream. The owner has been paying rent in this closed location for over a year to re-launch his Korean Ice Cream Empire as Oyo which will sell yogurt. Is the future of this owner's financial prosperity to be made selling yogurt? Hopefully the answer is yes for the owner's sake since a boatload of cash has been spent to give this location a go.

This soon to be re-opened establishment is located between 5th and 6th on the East side of Washington Street next to Piri Piri (513 Washington Street).
