Here’s some stuff that will be in tomorrow’s retail tip sheet:
– The owners of Hammerhead Coffee Roasters and Fools Onion will be taking over the grocery store operations of Greene’s Corner on Thursday, April 1. Both companies reside in Greene’s Corner at the intersection of Smith Road and Northwest Drive.
Mary Burwell and Scott Hartwich of Hammerhead and Kristine Kager and Lance Bailey of Fools Onion have joined forces to form a separate company to operate the grocery store, called OnionHead LLC. Kager and Bailey formerly ran the Cross Roads grocery store.
Hartwich said they plan on bringing in a variety of traditional grocery store products, but it won’t be as extensive as when Greene’s Corner originally opened in 2008.
– Daphnes, which serves beer, wine, cocktails along with a bit of food, opened last week at 1200 10th St., Suite 102, in the Fairhaven Village Inn building. The bar is open from 3 p.m. to midnight every day. For details about the company, visit daphnesbar.com.
– Michelle Whittaker will officially open Veg Express on Tuesday, April 6 at 700 Ohio St. (near Diehl Ford). The vegetarian drive-through stand will offer organic and local products, as well as vegan and gluten free options. The business will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
– Lynden Floor & Design will have a grand opening sales event on Saturday, April 17 at its second location in Hannegan Square, near the Bakerview and Hannegan road intersection. The company opened its Bellingham store in January.






I see there putting that jackin the box in now what about the motel across the street ?
Hi Trevor,
Yeah, I heard there’s some activity over on Northwest and Bakerview on the Jack in the Box site… I guess that just started happening the past few days. As for the hotel, I saw stormwater vault permit applications filed with the city a couple of weeks ago, so it appears they’re still going through the paperwork process.
