Ricky’s eclectic shops are expanding into bow-wow and beauty.
Along with its unique Pup Up store at 1276 Lexington Ave. at East 86th Street for doggie costumes, the company has signed four-month leases at two small buildings at 33 and 34 Park Row that may be extended into next year, The Post has learned.
Ricky’s Halloween store, already open on 33 Park Row, will turn into a Christmas and Hanukkah gift store for the remainder of the year, sources said.
Additionally, a brand new Beauty Bazaar concept will open soon in No. 34 on the corner of Beekman Street.
Alexander Hill of Winick Realty Group represented Ricky’s in the deal for the 12,000 square feet with the owner of the two buildings who previously rented to J&R Music.
Richard Parrott, president of Ricky’s, said the Beauty Bazaar will be “six floors of fashion and beauty wonderland.”
A Professional Ricky’s will carry professional hair lines and beauty products for testing.
This third floor will have an appliance test bar within a salon so that the beauty personnel can instruct customers how to use the products and hot irons.
“There are attempts at this but none that will reach this level,” Parrott explained. “I’ve got several suitors, and a lot of people want to be a part of this.”
