A popular boho-chic boutique is getting a bigger home in the Grand Central District.
SaltLight Art is relocating next door into a space more than double the size of its current shop, creating room for more apparel, accessories, jewelry, and artwork.
The boutique is moving from Suite A to Suite B at 1916 Central Avenue, expanding from its current 1,000-square-foot storefront to more than 2,000 square feet.
The new space previously housed Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary, which closed in late April.
“When they closed, we saw this as a great opportunity to hop right over into this larger space and get a larger square footage without leaving our block and our neighborhood,” said Mary Long, who co-owns SaltLight Art with her husband, William, in a conversation with St. Pete Rising.
Long said she received the keys earlier this month and expects to open the new shop by the end of May.
The space is currently undergoing renovations as she refinishes floors, updates paint, installs light fixtures, and works with a local muralist on new signage.
The expanded storefront will allow SaltLight Art to better organize and display its inventory, which includes apparel ranging from linens to denim, leather handbags, jewelry, and accessories.
