The good news: Bleecker Bob's still has another few months of business left before it has to close. The bad news: a fro-yo chain is moving in. The store posted on their Facebook page: "We've heard they want to be open by June 1. It will take probably around 2 months to get work permits for the massive remodeling job they'll need to do so we're figuring we should be open until May 2013!" [Bowery Boogie]
