There’s no need to go to Newbury Street when Blue Hill Avenue is just around the corner. That’s the hopeful message from three retail businesses with pre-existing ties to Mattapan that are making moves this summer to relocate their operations to a revitalized Blue Hill Ave. block near Morton Street.
Two of the soon-to-open businesses won a storefront contest run by the building owner, Dariela Villon-Maga of DVM Development.
The locations are now under construction. Body, Stone and Soul Wellness/Smart Startup Human Resources will move to 1039 Blue Hill Ave. from its current space in Jamaica Plain. Sadiddy Lifestyle Beauty Salon will leave Milton to set up shop at 1015 Blue Hill Ave. Both owners grew up in the immediate area and hope to open by next summer.
