Starting off the new year with a new look just got a little easier in Poland, with the pending opening of the Maine Street Barber Co. at 1251 Maine St., formerly The Chop Shop.

Co-owner Lauren Veau said there will be a soft opening Christmas Eve, with a formal, grand opening planned for Jan. 3. “It’s going to be a modern barbershop with a classic feel,” she said Tuesday. “We’re going to offer straight razor shaves, haircuts, beard trims. We also will be offering color services and waxing services.”

Veau said they’ll offer kids cuts and serve men and women. She recommends people book online or call for an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome too. The number is 207-998-9279.

Hours will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Roaks no more

LEWISTON — It’s been brought to our attention that Roak the Florist/Urban Garden Center combo at 793 Main St., which opened in 2021, has closed and the building is for sale. Realtor Marc Fishman said the listing went live about two weeks ago.

In September 2018, five months after his wife died, longtime owner Mike Small announced he was selling the business after 40 years.

The Urban Garden Center owner Gary Howard bought the property and had planned on consolidating his store on Sabattus Street into the new location. The Sabattus Street location remains open. Attempts to reach Howard for more details were unsuccessful.
