Greenwich Pharmacy (and Spa) To Open in Former Silk Purse Space on Main Street

By |

An independently owned pharmacy based in Greenwich will open up a second location on Main Street in New Canaan. Following an extensive interior renovation, Greenwich Pharmacy will open in two to three months at 112 Main St.—formerly the longtime home of The Silk Purse consignment shop, vacant since last summer—according to owner Dmitri Daniarov. “We have a lot of patients that we service from New Canaan,” Daniarov said. “People that live in Greenwich really enjoy the service—an old ‘mom and pop’ pharmacy establishment that takes care of their needs, so we are translating that same concept in New Canaan and I’m sure that both we and the people of New Canaan will benefit.”

The property is owned by JR Silverberg Realty LLC, tax records show. The building has about 6,200 square feet on the first floor, where The Silk Purse had occupied a space wide enough for two sets of doors on Main.

The Silk Purse on Main Street to Close after 41 Years

By |

The Silk Purse, a New Canaan-based household furnishings and accessories consignment shop for more than 40 years, will soon close its doors. A fixture of downtown New Canaan since its founding in 1973, the store at 118 Main St. likely will be open through September, according to a worker there. It isn’t clear just why The Silk Purse is closing. Its owner could not immediately be reached for comment.
