New vintage store opens in downtown Albany

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A new, small business opened its doors in downtown Albany on Friday. The Bevy Vintage Collective specializes in vintage clothes and items.

The owner reimagined and revitalized the storefront on Broadway through support from the Downtown Albany Retail Grant Program. Albany officials said they hope to attract even more unique business to the city through the funding program.

"We want places that are unique. We want our visitors to be able to walk in their own community or anywhere else, and this fits that bill, and you're part of an ecosystem that we are creating here," Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan said.

According to Capitalize Albany, the retail grant program has invested more than $2 million into local small businesses in the city.
