Helen’s Pacific Costumers, which once occupied the building at 7500 NE Glisan Street, permanently closed in November, 2017. The costume shop had been open for 127 years! (For awesome photos of Helen’s custom-built mascots, check out photos here: http://helenspacificcostumers.com/custom-built/).

The building has been purchased and renovations are already underway. It will be converted into four small commercial spaces for retail-, services- and/or food-oriented businesses. The new owner, Phil Coutrakon, is interested in connecting with anyone wanting to set up shop on East Glisan. He can provide information about square footage of the planned spaces. Contact Phil at philcoutrakon@gmail.com to learn more.
