Right Said Fred: Fred Flare's Soft Opening This Weekend

By Max Berlinger

Fred Flare, the pop-tastic, funky and wacky online retailer specializing in everything from sunglasses to hamburger phones is marking off a decade in the business with the opening of its first ever brick-and-mortar store. The blogs have been all atwitter about it over the last few months, and we finally got a chance to peek inside during the store's soft opening this weekend. We're holding back full coverage, though, until the boys officially open Friday, October 24th when they've invited you and everyone you know to swing by and join in the fun. Expect fans of cool things on a shoestring budget to swarm (including us.)

Fred Flare is located at 131 Meserole Avenue at Leonard Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn; www.fredflare.com.
