QUEENS — A high-end Forest Hills boutique is moving to a new larger location on Austin Street, 12 years after opening its store on the commercial strip, the owners said.
Via Veneto Fashions, a family-owned store, which for more than a decade was located at 70-42 Austin St., is moving several doors down and will replace NXT Sports Nutrition shop which closed at 70-38 Austin St. earlier this month.
“After we’ve been in this location for so long I guess you can say the walls start to get smaller and smaller as the customers, the clientele and the merchandise keep on growing more and more,” said owner Amin Sacca.
The store, which specializes in high-end Italian suits, pants and shirts, and offers alteration services as well, will open at the new location in about 3 weeks and will be called Sacca's Suits, Sacca said.
The owner said he decided to “take advantage of this new space ... to have a chance to remodel and re-brand and bring a lot of new merchandise.”
The new 1,100-square-foot store is about 350 feet larger than the current location, Sacca said.
As the store — previously named after one of the most elegant streets of Rome, Italy — changes its location, it offers 70 percent price cuts, the owner said.
The move is one of several recent changes on the busy block where Häagen-Dazs closed in September after more than two decades in business and Bath and Body Works reopened in October after months-long renovations.
