MEM Tea opening soon at 196 Elm Street

MEM Tea is building out a fancy-looking storefront at 196 Elm Street, the former location of Stellabella Toys.  It looks nearly ready to open.

Earlier this year, the window displayed a notice of a zoning hearing for "a dog grooming service as an additional use to retail store selling dog products". I guess that didn't work out.
