Wellesley Business Buzz: Massage Envy closing soon; Pucker pop-up; art contest winners; sidewalk sale in Linden Square

May 18, 2018 by Bob Brown 1 Comment

Here’s a roundup of the latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

Wellesley Massage Envy closing soon

Massage Envy, which opened its doors in Wellesley in 2008, will be closing up shop on June 17.  It’s located on the opposite side of Linden Street from Roche Bros., next to/beneath the Beacon Hill Athletic Club.

One Swellesley reader wrote to us that he and his wife are longtime members of the Wellesley Massage Envy and were surprised to be notified recently that their future appointments had been cancelled.

There are nearby locations in Framingham, Newton and other communities.

Other massage places in Wellesley include the newish Mai Thai Spa in Wellesley Square.

Pucker pop-up

Pucker Gallery, which last July appeared to be headed to the Belclare complex in Wellesley only to change its mind later in the year, has indeed popped up in that very space.

The shop will be open Wednesday–Friday 11-5 PM and by appointment.
“We are excited to bring Wellesley residents the same eclectic mix of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art objects from around the world that we have been fortunate to exhibit on Newbury Street for the past 51 years,” Jon Pucker writes.

Linden Square sidewalk sale

Linden Square will be hosting a Sidewalk Sale from May 16-20. Participating retailers include: Sara Campbell, La Mia Moda, Pure Barre, Tiny Hanger and Magic Beans. On Saturday, May 19, Roche Bros., is also having its annual plant sale.

    Hi – I have been a member of the Wellesley Massage Envy since 2010 and they have not even notified me of the pending closure!!! I just found out today, from another source, less than one month before the closure. I am very surprised that management is being so disrespectful of longtime, loyal members. I am disappointed not just by the news, but also by the manner in which management is handling it. It is very unprofessional.
