NEW HARTFORD — The Village Basement Consignment Shop in New Hartford has formally opened under its new owners.
The New Hartford Chamber of Commerce welcomed the new owners — Amanda Hanna of Barneveld and Kate Hoover of Newport — on Nov. 10 with a ribbon cutting and grand reopening celebration at the store at 70 Genesee St. The event commemorated the Village Basement changing hands after 19 years under former owner, Diane Evans, according to a chamber news release.
Hanna and Hoover are two childhood friends who discovered the shop while in college, and have been regular customers ever since, according to the New Hartford Chamber.
The pair formed a business partnership and took over the Village Basement on Oct. 1. “Their family members helped with some updated aesthetics, but otherwise, the shop is still very much like it’s been for years,” the release stated.
The Village Basement manages a consignment inventory of women’s clothing, accessories, and home décor.
The shop is situated in the basement of the 70 Genesee St. building, which contains six other businesses. The shop is located in the back and offers “plenty of parking,” the chamber said.
The Village Basement is open Tuesday through Saturday; its hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except for Thursday, when the shop is open until 7 p.m. It accepts consignments each day.
