It looks like 9220 Roosevelt Way Northeast might not be the best location for a beauty salon.
After taking over the space barely occupied last year by another salon, Petal and Vine, Elle ‘Bella Studio also has packed up its bags, leaving the storefront vacant.
“Basically they never opened,” said a woman with the Law Office of J. Michael Lovejoy, which owns the building. “It was a fiasco.”
From the Craigslist ad for the now-vacant space:
750 square foot commercial space available immediately. Unit is perfect for professional business such as attorney, insurance, accountant, etc. Previous tenant was a salon. Unit has separate room that can be used as a storage room, file room, or conference room. Unit has street access and storefront on Roosevelt Way NE. Unit is one of four retail units in newer condomium building. Fellow tenants include attorney, jeweler, hair salon. Feel free to drive by property at 9220 Roosevelt Way NE. Interested parties can call 206-365-9090 for appointment to view interior. All potential applicants will be screened. Lease required along with a damage deposit. Last months rent negotiable. Rent is $1200.00 per month with a $300.00 triple net billing for a total of $1500.00 per month.
And in case you’re wondering, the woman at the law office, who didn’t want her name used because she’s not a spokesperson for the company, said with regards to a future tenant:
“We don’t think we want any more beauty salons.”
