    Thoughts on UES vs UWS? Does anyone have a location in both?

    Our Upper East Side store was one of our first locations, and while the rents are high and the buildings are old, it’s been worth the investment. The store required a lot of initial and ongoing work, but the foot traffic and revenue have been higher than we expected. Being on a corner spot definitely helps too—great visibility and constant flow of customers!
