Panchanga Inc, d/b/a FIKA NYC has leased another store at 180 Ninth Ave., aka 361 West 21st St. which is a corner retail unit with 40 feet of frontage. FIKA will occupy 1,000 s/f of retail space along with 750 s/f in the lower level.
Andrew Hawkins and Kyle Williams of Transwestern Commercial Services, LLC represented the tenant.
William Abramson and Elba Diaz of Buchbinder & Warren Realty Group, LLC represented the landlord.
In September of 2006, FIKA opened its doors to its very first location in NYC. Swedish tradition and appreciation of a coffee-centric lifestyle served as inspiration for founder and co-owner Lars Ã…kerlund who saw an immediate love connection between Sweden and New York.
Everything served is made in house, by hand, with the highest quality and care in mind. FIKA takes pride in sourcing the finest coffee beans, roasting them to perfection, and creating the most delicious savory and sweet foods imaginable. The menu is heavily inspired by Swedish heritage and flavors, but always with an innovative and modern twist. FIKA seeks to partner up with local suppliers whenever possible. The word FIKA [fee:kah] translates into taking a coffee break to indulge in the ritual of conversation, often accompanied by something sweet or savory.
"I've put several tenants on this block, and FIKA is the perfect tenant for this corner location. There is no question in my mind they will succeed and be a nice addition to the neighborhood," said Abramson. Tags:
