Construction Permits (finally) obtained!

Construction is finally starting after several months of delays.

Residing within the Montclair Center historical district the building will retain historical elements with an updated approach.
Exterior prep before new paint.
November 3, 2011

For those of you who may be wondering about exterior painting of historical buildings, there is a small clause in the guidelines set forth by Montclair Historical Preservation Commission that states once a building has been painted in the past no special permits are needed to repaint the same area. This is great news for Merit and will greatly improve this vital corner of the main commercial corridor.

We are moving!

As of May 2011:
We are moving into the vacant spot left behind when Zaentz Hardware closed.
This will give us more space and amplify the selection of wines and spirits we carry.
