Terrain — the new garden/home/gift/organic cafe store on the site of the old Curran Cadillac on the Post Road — has sent out invitations to a preview party this Thursday evening.
The opening is set for the next day — Friday, May 11.
For the past couple of weeks, Westporters have watched non-stop, feverish construction.
Can Terrain do it? Will they open on time?
The race is on!
With the Curran Cadillac building entering its final stages of demolition, Westporters turn their attention to what will replace that prime piece of real estate opposite 5 Guys.
Ta-da — Terrain!
The Philadelphia-based store features landscape design, home and garden décor, eco-friendly growing supplies, furniture, gifts, jewelry, personal care items, and locally sourced food.
Their website offers this preview of the new building:
The site adds:
Transforming a once industrial site into a celebration of nature, we couldn’t be more thrilled to put down roots in our new home. Gifted with extraordinary creativity and a passion for the garden, the people who make up terrain truly love what they do.
If you’re not overwhelmed by that prose, you might be impressed by the next item on the site: “Current Job Opportunities.”
Terrain is looking for 9 managers, in these categories: store, nursery, operations, assistant décor, assistant nursery, visual, assistant visual, assistant display and café. They’re also searching for an executive chef.
Not to mention all the worker bees they’ll need.
Their new motto could be: “Terrain: Growing plants, food, and jobs in Westport.”
