SARATOGA SPRINGS — The grand re-opening of one of my favorite Broadway boutiques is finally here. 

This Friday, Nov. 4 from 5 to 9 p.m. Lucy Moran, owner of Lucia boutique, will host an opening event in her new location in the Saratoga Marketplace at 454 Broadway.

Since opening Lucia in a smaller space tucked inside the Marketplace over 5 years ago, Moran has dreamed of someday expanding the business in a more visible and spacious location.

"I have always felt that my current space has been temporary and now, Lucia is moving home," Moran said. 

Lucia's new home isn't far from the shop's original location — it is still located on the ground level of the Saratoga Marketplace, but now in the space formerly home to Saratoga Turkish Bazaar (now located at 506 Broadway).

"I've wanted to expand for years because I felt like I haven't been able to have as big of a collection as I've wanted and definitely to have a street-front store with windows," Moran said. 

This Friday, Moran will unveil her new space, completely redecorated to maintain Lucia's staple vintage bohemian vibe with extra space for new designers such as Cheap Monday and Dolce Vita Shoes as well as an expanded collection of the store's existing designers.

Moran's husband Rory, who will be opening the Comfort Kitchen restaurant (click here to see the In the Biz story on this entrepreneurial couple) on the lower level of the Marketplace this spring, is catering the event with mouth-watering homemade hors d'oeurves.

There will also be door prizes and discounts, as well as cocktails and comfort food... needless to say, this is a can't miss event for all fashionistas and perfect for holiday shopping. 

See you all there!
