The Materne family broke ground on phase 1 of the new Vespa New Orleans Downtown store (located at 901 Julia at Barrone) on April 8th. This new location, opening fall 2005, will replace the Mid-City store with a larger showroom, larger service area, and FREE covered parking for customers.
The construction is being followed by the crew from HGTV's "Opening Soon by Design". This cable series tracks new retail store openings from ground breaking to the Grand Opening party. The show is to be broadcast in January 2006. Stay tuned for contruction updates.
