Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) Retail is pleased to announce that it recently completed a transaction with Schmackary’s Cookie Company at 193 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The lease is for one of two 1,000 square foot stores, currently being marketed by NGKF on the prime block of Bedford Ave between N. 6th and N. 7th Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The stores-each of which feature a full basement and small backyard space-are 1/2 block from the Bedford Avenue L train subway station, which boasts an annual ridership of 8.3 million and is one stop from Manhattan. The remaining 1,000-square-foot store at 193 Bedford Ave is still available for lease.
Hymie M. Dweck, managing director, NGKF Retail, who along with associate director, Joseph Colista, represented the landlord Reno Capital LLC, commented, “The arrival of Schmackary’s to Bedford Ave continues the trend of gourmet food retailers seeking prime locations in Williamsburg. They are precisely the type of high-end, artisanal brand we sought for the space and will be a welcome addition to the boutique retail experience of Bedford Ave.”
Harrison Abramowitz, also of NGKF Retail, represented the tenant Schmackary’s in this transaction. Their new location marks this gourmet cookie company’s expansion. Schmackary’s is located in the Theatre District at 45th and 9th Avenue. The store delivers throughout Manhattan and ships their cookies nationwide.
