Jill Hattan’s Pink Saloon/Assembly 19 Clothing Boutique is moving from one high-end retail shopping center to another.

The shop, a men’s and women’s clothing store at Waterfront Plaza, is taking over the space next to YaYa’s EuroBistro that previously was occupied by Apricot Lane, which closed in November after more than a decade. Hattan said she’s renovating the space and won’t likely move her store until early August. It will continue to operate where it is until then.

Hattan said she first started talking to Laham Development president George Laham about wanting to open a retail clothing and furniture store in Bradley Fair when he was building the shopping center in the early 1990s. But the timing just never worked out.

Pink Saloon originally opened in El Dorado in 2006. In 2009, its owner moved it to Douglas and Oliver before relocating it in 2014 to Waterfront Plaza, at the northwest corner of 13th and Webb. Hattan bought the store in 2020, calling it a “passion project.”

In September, she added men’s clothing to the shop and named that side of the store Assembly 19.

When the store moves, its selection of upscale, fashion-forward clothing will remain. Pink Saloon carries brands such as Rails, Mother Denim, Farm Rio, Frame, Ben Sherman and Citizens of Humanity.

Pink Saloon and Assembly 19 will be under one roof but will occupy opposite sides of the new space.

“We just love the Bradley Fair idea of, number one, being next to YaYa’s, which should give us a little more foot traffic than we get,” Hattan said. “And we do a lot community wise, and so does Bradley Fair. It’s a good combination.”

Hattan’s other passion project — the new Point Nine restaurant and outdoor venue at 1533 N. Andover Road in Andover — also is nearing completion. She hopes to have it open in late June.
