The two vacant storefronts in the Ballard Square Building will be filled by a Buffalo Exchange and a BECU location in the coming months.
Boeing Employees Credit Union and Buffalo Exchange will be moving into the the vacant storefronts in the Ballard Square Building on Market Street in the near future.
BECU, the largest credit union in Washington, is moving its Ballard Safeway location into the Tux Shop space at 2232 N.W. Market St.
Todd Pietzsch, spokesperson for BECU, said the credit union had outgrown its Safeway location and is shooting for a July opening on Market Street.
The Tux Shop relocated to Northgate.
Buffalo Exchange, a used-clothing consignment store with 36 locations nationally, will move into the space recently vacated by Supercuts, also at 2232 N.W. Market St.
Buffalo Exchange President Kerstin Block, a Swedish native who started the business in 1974 in Arizona, said the company had been looking for another Seattle location since the closing of the Capitol Hill store.
A number of the employees at the other Seattle location, in the University District, live in Ballard and recommended it as a good location for a new store, Block said.
She said the Ballard location should open in early June.
The Market Street Supercuts is temporarily moving to the second floor of the Ballard Square Building and should be open for business March 17 until a permanent location can be found, owner Michael Gore said.
The Supercuts had been in that location for 21 years and a few of the employees have been there for nearly the entire time, Gore said.
He said the decision to move upstairs was made so as not to interrupt their customers and to make sure the staff was able to stay employed.
