iParty, the national party goods chain, is planing to open a store in Waltham.
The company is planning to open the store at the proposed Main Street Marketplace at 1030 Main St., according to a company press release that included announcements for other new stores in Massachusetts. The store will anchor the new complex, according to iParty and span 45,000 square feet.
“We are extremely pleased to add these two locations to our family of full-line party stores in the Greater Boston area. Although we already have a very strong presence in Boston, our customers in the Waltham and Haverhill markets were, until now, not directly served by iParty stores in their own regions. The opening of these stores will make it much easier for them to enjoy iParty’s category-dominant assortment of party merchandise,” said iParty CEO Sal Perisano in a press release.
Five Guys, Panera Bread and Chipotle hae all announced plans for the same complex.
