New retail shop 'Dredgers Union' opening downtown on East 4th Street

CLEVELAND - There has long been a void in downtown Cleveland's retail market. Major depatment stores have closed, and only a sprinkling of new shops have opened.

Danielle DeBoe and Sean Bilovecky hope to change that trend. They plan to open Dredgers Union -- a 4,500 square-foot store on East 4th Street right in downtown Cleveland.

"There is great momentum happening in Cleveland. Downtown is poised to turn a corner," said DeBoe.

Dredgers Union will be housed in what used to be an old McCrory's store. DeBoe said she plans on having a wide variety of merchandise in the store. Gift items, furniture and even their own line of clothing will be available when the store opens in June of this year.

Dredgers Union will service the growing number of downtown residents. With many restaurants and shops thriving along East 4th Street, it's only natural that a department-like store be built.
