Old Town gift and apparel shop The Happy Place is getting a little bigger.

Stella Koukides, one of the owners of The Happy Place, said the store at 105 S. Union Street has opened up into neighboring 107 S. Union Street, formerly The Gentlemen’s Quarters, which closed in March.

Koukides said the new expanded area of the shop is currently open and features a new curated collection with a focus on vacation-wear.

“Our expanded haven curates a collection that captures the carefree essence of vacation ready,” Koukides wrote. “From beach cover ups to leisure wear you will be in vacation mode. Get ready to brighten up your day with our curated selection of fun and vibrant jewelry, apparel, gifts, and self-care products!”

The shop offers a wide variety of goods, from sweet treats and self-care items to clothing and party goods.
