The latest Natick, Mass., business news:
Mr. Nice Dog coming to Rte. 9
While “coming soon” can mean almost any period of time when it comes to local businesses, a new Natick business on Rte. 9 east called Mr. Nice Dog has installed signage promoting its pending arrival. The business, located next to a consignment shop, will offer grooming, dog training, and pet day care.
The Planning Board gave the business a thumbs up in October for a change of use at the location, 42 Worcester St. Previously, a related sort of business called All About My Dog operated in the space, but it left last summer when the owner moved to Colorado.
Mr. Nice Dog owner Antonio Torres told the Planning Board last year that he has been raising and training dogs for 30 years.
We’ve reached out for an update on when the business might open.
Dairy Queen is back
Dairy Queen on Rte. 27 in Natick is back in action for the season.
The Hive readies to reveal
The Hive, a new collection of pop-ups in Natick at 22 North Main St., plans to open in April.
This space formerly was occupied by Natick Nutrition.
The Hive states that its mission is to:
- Create a collaborative space to aid the growth of artisanal micro-businesses.
- Help facilitate the establishment of local businesses to convert from pop-up to permanent tenancy.
- Increase the diversity of voices on Main Street retail offerings available to our community.
Jill Hourihan of Metro Pets Boutique in Natick is behind the venture.
Kids clothing shop Hedgehog Belly Designs has said it will be 1 of the Hive’s tenants. The shop has previously been located in Natick, as well as in pop-up space in Newton and Wellesley.
