Now all the behind-the-scenes action is public. Yesterday afternoon was spent retrofitting the corner storefront in antiseptic glass. Random counters, glass cases, and other kitchen-type equipment have already been installed inside the forthcoming fro-yo spot. Additional items were delivered throughout the day, and stacked beside the entrance. And here we thought this whole craze was dead!
