Wellesley Business Buzz: Loyal Companion pet shop-plus; Belclare welcomes Exercise Coach & pop-up shop; Wok a fixer-upper

August 11, 2019 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Here’s the latest Wellesley, MA business news:

 

Pine Straw in the homestretch

As we reported this past week, Pine Straw in Wellesley is getting ready to close down after the winter holiday shopping season after 9 years in business.

Loyal Companion pet “experience” coming to Wellesley Hills

Loyal Companion, which has dozens of locations in Massachusetts and elsewhere across the country, will be opening a shop in Wellesley Hills at 276 Washington St. in the location formerly occupied by Dayton Home. We’d hinted back in April that a pet supplies business would be opening there.

This modest business touts itself as being “unlike any pet experience in the world.” It sells health pet food as well as supplies, plus offers training, grooming, nutrition advice, daycare and more for your pets.

Belclare welcomes Exercise Coach & pop-up shop

The Belclare complex at the edge of Wellesley Square has been looking pretty bare of late with several retailers closing their shops. But there is some sign of renewal to complement existing businesses like Barber Walter’s (which even has me looking good these days).

An outfit called the Exercise Coach will open at 41 Grove St., formerly the site of Thirst Juice.

This personal training business, which has dozens of locations across the country, touts 20-minute routines that can help you get fit, lose wait or achieve other health goals. The business caters to people at all fitness levels.

Separately, the space formerly occupied by Legit will temporarily host a pop-up shop called Ventures Adventures. Sounds exciting.

The Wok a fixer-upper

Visitors to The Wok restaurant at 180 Worcester St. (Rte. 9 east) have been greeted with a sign saying it is closed for renovation. Word is that the eatery has changed hands and is readying for an overhaul that could include a new sushi bar. Hon Pui and Carol Chan have been running The Wok in Wellesley since 1978, so congratulations to them on retirement.
