Wellesley Business Buzz: Shade Store headed to town; B/Spoke spinning up Dr/p Cafe; Free STEAM event; lawyer’s book targets boomers

June 15, 2019 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Here’s our round-up of the latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

The Shade Store headed to Linden Square

The Shade Store, which does customer window shades blinds and drapes, is readying a shop in Linden Square in the 180 Linden St., space long occupied by French Lessons.

The Shade Store boasts that it’s been handcrafting products in the United States since 1946 to make your windows more beautiful. The business has 70-plus showrooms nationwide, including on Newbury Street in Boston and in Hingham.

Free swatches and measurements are among The Shade Store’s lures.

B/Spoke spinning up Dr/p Cafe

It looks like the B/Spoke fitness studio is about to optimize its space in Wellesley Square at 50 Central St., by adding a place to sip and maybe snack called Dr/p Cafe.

B/Spoke is marketing Dr/p as a “new coffee experience,” so we’re not sure if you actually get to drink the coffee, view coffee-themed performance art, or what.
