Stuyvesant Plaza, the Capital Region’s premier open-air shopping and dining destination, today shared exciting announcements for two local businesses. Peaches Café will undergo a full renovation and 5th Corner Goods & Gifts will relocate to a new storefront.
“Stuyvesant Plaza is pleased to support the enhancement of Peaches Café, a beloved local staple, while providing a new home within the Plaza for 5th Corner Goods and Gifts. These changes reflect our dedication to nurturing local favorites,” said Stuyvesant Plaza General Manager Rachel Ferluge. “Our guests have shown tremendous love for both businesses, and these updates ensure they will continue to thrive and bring joy to our community.”
Originally established as an ice cream shop in 1982, Peaches Café quickly evolved into a full-service restaurant featuring a variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert items. The Plaza mainstay will undergo a full renovation, starting this month. It will continue serving guests until mid-February, with plans to reopen in early April.
“Peaches has enjoyed a long, successful tenure at Stuyvesant Plaza,” said Peaches Café Co-Owner Brian Dunbar. “We’re excited to rebrand ourselves and renovate our space, and we’re looking forward to continuing to serve our loyal patrons for many years to come.”
Meanwhile, 5th Corner Goods & Gifts will relocate to the Plaza’s south side by the end of January. The local- and women-owned business originally arrived as a pop-up shop at Stuyvesant Plaza in October 2023 to supplement its flagship store in Delmar. The boutique offers a variety of seasonal and eco-friendly gifts, including bath and body products, clothing, bags, jewelry and accessories, home and pet-lover goods, office products, and plants.
“We’d like to thank Stuyvesant Plaza for their ongoing support of the small business community,” said 5th Corner Goods and Gifts Co-Owner Ricky Talmage. “Our business has grown dramatically during the relatively brief time that we have operated at Stuyvesant Plaza, and we look forward to showcasing our innovative and diverse offerings to many new and returning customers in the New Year.”
