A new retail collective will open at 1300 Main St. in Over-the-Rhine on June 14, which is also this summer’s first
Second Sunday on Main.
Goods on Main will feature merchandise from national brands as well as locally made products.
Originally,
Frameshop owners Jake Baker and Jake Gerth planned to open
Workshop at the location. A larger space opened up in Walnut Hills, but they had already rented the space in OTR. The business partners decided that something else needed to go there.
“We’re hoping to bring more of a critical mass of retail to Main Street,” says Pat Feghali, local attorney and co-owner of Goods. "Right now lots of people go to Vine street to shop, but by opening Goods we’re hoping to make Main Street a stronger retail destination.”
The 1,500-square-foot, first-floor retail space will be split in two, with the front half devoted to Goods. The rest of the space will be used for more of a gathering area for special events like Final Friday and Second Sunday on Main. Feghali says they plan to devote the entire space to Goods in the future.
The merchandise available at Goods will center around a theme and change several times throughout the year.
When it opens, the theme will be "adventure.” Feghali says this could mean a camping adventure or something more outside of the box like a culinary adventure. Items available will range from bicycles and mopeds to camping gear and hot sauce.
Along with Feghali, Goods is owned and operated by OTR entrepreneurs Duru Armagon, owner of
Sloane Boutique; Adam Atallah; Carl Hunt; and Micah Paladino, CEO of
PB&J.
Goods’ hours aren’t set in stone yet, but the storefront will be open Thursday through Sunday.
