Women’s clothing retailer Bliss moved from a 1,565-square-foot lease at 42 Exchange St. to a 2,880-square-foot lease at 121 Middle St. in Portland’s Old Port district.
A women’s clothing retailer doubled its space with a 2,880-square-foot lease in the Thompson Block building at 121 Middle St. in Portland’s Old Port district.
The store opened last week after moving several blocks from its former 1,565-square-foot lease at 42 Exchange St.
Malone Commercial Brokers brokered the transaction.
“We fell in love with the space at 121 Middle St. the moment we saw it,” said Angela Foddrill, Bliss’s co-owner.
Foddrill said the new location is open, full of light and has room for the business to expand.
The Thompson Block is owned by Portland real estate firm East Brown Cow Management.
“When we consider potential tenants, we look for local makers and purveyors who are deeply passionate about their products,” said Tim Soley, East Brown Cow’s president and CEO. “Supporting that authenticity strengthens the entire downtown ecosystem, creating a dynamic, sustainable environment where local talent and national brands complement each other.”
Angela and John Foddrill started Bliss at 42 Exchange St. in 2002.
Today, Bliss has three brick-and-mortar locations, in Portland, Kennebunk and Portsmouth, N.H., as well as an online store that ships across the country.
