/
Wendy’s Closet, a beloved vintage clothing shop celebrating 30 years in business, is relocating this summer from 2107 Central Avenue to a new space just a few blocks down in St. Pete’s Grand Central District.
Owner Wendy Barrett has purchased a 3,300-square-foot building at 1912 Central Avenue, formerly home to Goodyear Rubber Products, securing her presence in the neighborhood for years to come.
“This store will have a better layout, a working AC, and it’s right across from the Imagine Museum. It’s perfect, it will be bigger and better,” Barrett told St. Pete Rising.

Several prominent properties in the EDGE District have sold for $12 million.
According to a deed recorded October 6th, developer PTM Partners sold the three-story building at 1246 Central Avenue and the street-level retail spaces at the adjacent Moxy hotel to L3 Capital, a Chicago-based private equity real estate investment firm that focuses on urban retail.
The 27,261-square-foot building at 1246 Central Avenue is home to Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine and Amorino Gelato on the ground floor. Digital marketing company WebFX has signed a lease for the third floor but has not yet moved in, while the approximately 8,700-square-foot second floor remains available for office tenants.
The sale also includes the Moxy hotel’s 3,407 square feet of ground-floor retail space, occupied by Floyd’s Barbershop and Solidcore. It does not include the 163-room Moxy hotel itself, which remains part of PTM Partners’ EDGE Collective development.
James Garner and Jim Shiebler of CBRE represented PTM Partners and L3 Capital in the transaction.
