Our roundup of the latest Wellesley MA business news:
Mane & Mani blows outta here
Mane & Mani, part of the great Wellesley Salon Rush of 2016, has removed its sign at 67 Central St., and no longer lists the site on its company website. Our inquiry about this to Mane & Mani was not answered.
Word on the street is that Dellaria, located down the street, has taken over the space, and that you can contact Dellaria to arrange blowout appointments from the remaining Mane & Mani staff. No word back from Dellaria on plans for it to vacate its space, though there’s some scuttlebutt about a coffee shop moving into its space. Let us know what you know at theswellesleyreport@gmail.com
Other Mane & Mani shops carry on in Burlington, Lynnfield, and Peabody.

The only other existing license not being renewed is from B.Good, which departed Wellesley, paving the way next year for a new southwestern-themed restaurant called Lockheart, next to the Wellesley Square fire station.
