New business 11/26/01

Brick Street Gallery Antiques in new locationBrick Street Gallery Art Antiques and Creative Designs has moved into new quarters in downtown Cape Girardeau.

The new business opened Friday at 19 N. Spanish St., in a building which formerly housed Save-A-Lot Grocery, which moved to the intersection of William and Sprigg. Brick Street is a cooperative effort of John and Jerrianne Wyman and Keith and Rosetta Colley. Rosetta Colley will manage the operation.

The operation includes between 40 and 50 booths, which feature antiques and collectibles. Brick Street opened more than two years ago at Sikeston and moved to Cape Girardeau last year.

The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and will remain open Friday evenings until 8 p.m.

Some special events -- auctions and special sales -- are being planned for the business.
