Nomad Truck – Fashion on Wheels Grand Opening at Village Pourhouse April 13th 11am-4pm

Fashionistas with a propensity to party should mark your calendars for the Nomad Truck’s Grand Opening Party at the Village Pourhouse in Hoboken on April 13th from 11am-4pm. Details are below….

Mobile Fashion Truck to Launch in Greater NYC Area – Boutique Brings Haute Wheels to Hoboken in April

Nomad, the mobile retail boutique, today announced that after four months of construction and almost a year of planning, it will hit the road and roll up its doors on April 13th, 2013, with a grand opening celebration outside of the Village Pourhouse located at 205 1st Street  in Hoboken, NJ. The launch party will run from 11am – 4pm and will offer drink specials at the Village Pourhouse for Nomad customers.

The carefully curated mobile fashion boutique offers trendy ladies’ fashions for under $100. All inventory is handpicked by Jessie Goldenberg, founder and CEO, who established Nomad after observing the overwhelming success of the food truck industry and the growing trend of pop-up shops.

Nomad will showcase handmade and local designers, many of which Goldenberg found via Etsy.com and through her experience vending under the Nomad banner in more traditional booth set-ups since early January. Some of the fashions already on board include beaded stacker bracelets by NYC based Harmony L, minimalist mixed-metal pieces by local Hoboken favorite hbkco., and flowy printed tops by Ya Los Angeles and Mono B.

“I want to build a (mobile) place where my customers – young, creative women – can have fun shopping without breaking the bank,” says Goldenberg, “A place that is convenient and affordable, inspiring and intimate. And of course there should be good music.”

Goldenberg, a filmmaker turned full-time fashionista, graduated from NYU Tisch with a slew of production credits under her belt and a whirlwind of ideas in her head. With Nomad, Goldenberg seeks to combine her artistic eye and love of travel to create a fun and novel shopping experience for customers in the region.

While Nomad will be parked primarily in Hoboken, NJ, this mobile retail boutique will offer private party services, visit local colleges, and vend at NYC Flea Markets and street fairs. Locations for the upcoming week will be posted on the website and advertised via social media.

For more information, or to book a private event with the truck, visit www.thenomadtruck.com.

About the Nomad Truck

Nomad is a fully functioning boutique on wheels, traveling around the greater New York City Area. Nomad operates out of the back of a 24’ long renovated stepvan with roughly 100 square feet of shopping space. The rear door rolls up, steps are attached, and viola – it’s transformed into a carefully curated boutique adorned with racks of trendy ladies’ fashions, accessories, and jewelry. Nomad showcases the work of local designers and artisans, and offers a wide selection of handmade, one-of-a-kind merchandise.

Anthropologie in Hoboken Unveils Storefront Exterior–Closer to Grand Opening

Anthropologie 4-4-2013 in Hoboken HDR Exterior smaller

Anthropologie located at 412 Washington Street in Hoboken, NJ is even closer to opening than ever. They revealed their exterior yesterday and the façade is quite tastefully done. This anchor store is likely to change the retail landscape of Hoboken for quite some time.  This is one of the most anticipated store openings in recent Hoboken memory.  They are likely to have a Grand Opening or soft opening in April based on the progress I am seeing.

Washington Street Shuffle – Cigar Tobacco Warehouse coming to 614 Washington Street in Hoboken

Cigar Tobacco Warehouse 614 Washington Street Hoboken NJ

The former site of Ibby’s Falafel at 614 Washington Street appears to be switching business type and adding yet another cigar store to Hoboken, NJ. The permits on the door say the new owner of the upcoming establishment is Cigar Tobacco Warehouse. They recently received a large shipment pictured on the bottom left of the photo above.

We once had a short lived Falafel frenzy, is opening a cigar shop going to be the next Hoboken retail trend? Here is wishing them luck as they try to take on Hoboken one luxurious and refined puff at a time.

Holy Strollers – Baby Gap Coming to Hoboken – Washington Street Shuffle Continues

According to signage a Baby Gap is apparently coming to Hoboken’s Washington Street soon. Construction is underway at 220 Washington Street and it appears another chain is coming to Hoboken in addition to Anthropologie. It will be interesting to see how this impacts the other baby themed stores in the Mile Square. With more and more young and in some cases older couples having children it was a matter of time before some baby related chain would try and make a go of it in Hoboken. Parents are staying in Hoboken longer after their first child than say a decade ago so it would seem on paper this is a potentially profitable chain store. Still, with Hoboken’s high rents that is a lot of baby booties to sell to make a buck.

Photo of the Day–Anthropologie Construction at 420 Washington Street Hoboken

Anthropologie Construction - 420 Wahington Street Hoboken

Today’s Photo of the Day is of the Anthropologie construction at 420 Washington Street Hoboken. Perhaps no other retailer will have as much on the shopping landscape in Hoboken than the opening of this mega store. It remains to be seen what the impact this store will have on other boutiques in Hoboken but one thing is for sure they have buying power and if they want a vendor exclusively within a zip code, the general rule is they will get their way due to high volume. Will this be the first of many other chains to come to Hoboken? We will have to wait and see but a limiting factor would be the dearth of very large retail spaces in Hoboken.
