Earlier this week we reported that luxury retailer Kit and Ace abruptly closed their Woodward Avenue shop, notifying employees on Wednesday that they no longer had a job the same day.

Well, it doesn’t seem like all Woodward Avenue retailers are facing dipping sales — Peacock Room and Frida owner Rachel Lutz recently announced she plans to expand Frida to double its current size. In a Crain’s article published yesterday, Lutz said she expects the shop’s revenue to double once the QLine is open to the public.

Frida, a casual women’s boutique, will take over an adjacent space in the Park Shelton building where it’s located. The space formerly housed a t-shirt company called Goods.
