Heard on the Street: Massage spa to open on North Broadway - Post-Bulletin

[massage]

A new spa is on the way to fill a North Broadway space left vacant by the recent departure of a tea shop.


Comfort Zone Chinese Massage Spa is gearing up to open at 119 N. Broadway in late October or early November.


That's the former address of Mandela Tea, which moved out in late summer after about three years of selling tea there. Kenneth Bush, of Hexum Cos., handled the real estate deal to bring in Comfort Zone for the building owner, Ross Henderson.


Comfort Zone will offer just massages at first. After a while, it is expected to add facials and other services. The spa, owned by Amy Jin Shuqin, will open with a staff of two.


Shuqin has similar businesses in Florida. This will be her first location in Minnesota.


Being the hub of Mayo Clinic's Destination Medical Center initiative, downtown Rochester is always buzzing with talk these days about possible projects and business action.


However, it does sound like a long-anticipated downtown announcement could be on the way very soon.


How soon? That's hard to say. If the chatter is accurate, it sounds like attorneys just need to work through a few layers of paperwork to clear the way for some sort of public statement.


Meanwhile, a retailer is wrapping up a deal to open a small downtown shop in a prominent spot.


I expect to report the details of that deal before you can say Land of 10,000 Lakes.
