Urban Block

Need help finding gifts this season? Head over to our friends at GA At Home !!

So crazy to think this was our store just a few weeks ago!

Thank you all for the amazing memories!

Urban 53

What's that being built at the former Kwan's restaurant spot in Salem? Four years after longtime Salem staple Kwan's Original Cuisine closed its doors for good, the pagoda-style restaurant has been demolished.

We may be clearing out inventory but it’s still fun to merchandise and change things up!

It's not the end but maybe a pause. 🤍

For now, this is a sad post to announce that our “store moving” has turned to store closing for Urban Block*. This has not been an easy decision by any means, but one that we feel has to be made with the sudden demolition of our building.

This shift has required us to put a lot into perspective, and we are trying to remember that everything does happen for a reason, even if we don't understand, or see that reason just yet. 

To be frank, we are really proud of what we have created and how far we have come in our partnership. And we are so grateful for our community and customers who have become friends. We are literally only here because of all of you. 

In fact, our mantra has always been "community over competition” - and during these most recent events, we have felt the community so much… Not only from our customers, but from other businesses in town, and that is truly amazing!

At this time, we are using this as an opportunity to rest and reset. But please note: This is truly a “see you later” - we will continue taking our time while we evaluate next steps as we move into the next season.

Thank you all so much for following, and for your continued support.
Stay tuned for further updates 🤍

*Urban53 will remain open! Be sure to visit Courtney and team at their new location in Independence

P.S
We love seeing all of your faces and would love to see you before our last day in this building we have called our second home. Our last day is Saturday, September 10, 2022.
