RICKY’S NYC INKS POP-UP LEASE FOR HALLOWEEN SPECIALTY STORE WITH COGSWELL REALTY, LLC AT 55 WEST 125th STREET

NEW YORK, NY – October 5, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Cogswell Realty, LLC announced today that Ricky’s NYC has signed a two-month lease for 5,180 square feet of retail space for a seasonal pop-up store, Ricky’s Halloween, Inc., at 55 West 125th Street.

Ross Jacobs and Anthony Stapleton of Cogswell Realty, LLC represented the landlord and Adam Stupak of Task Realty served as the tenant’s broker for this transaction.

Ricky’s Halloween offers a wide selection of creative Halloween costumes for all ages and sizes — from more traditionally ghoulish outfits like vampires to choices inspired by movies (“Black Swan”), politics (Anthony Weiner), music (Lady Gaga) and more.

“This is the time of year when Ricky’s really shines,” said Stupak. “Having pop-up stores like these allows us to test out promising areas like Harlem with the possibility of opening up a permanent store in the future.”

With products ranging from professional hair care to temporary tattoos, Ricky’s NYC’s eclectic offerings make headlines and grace the pages of major beauty publications every month while Ricky’s Halloween pop-up store puts a special holiday spin on it all.

“The combination of Ricky’s NYC reputation as a trend-setting, one-stop, super shop and the high levels of consumer traffic drawn to the neighborhood around 55 West 125th Street make this a winning combination for everyone,” said Jacobs.
