ADAMS — Just eight months after opening 57 Park Street Gifts & Goodies downtown, local businesswoman Lea King is launching another shop on Park Street, this time with partner Jessie Kratz.

King is opening Park Street Home Sweet Home, a gift and home decor shop, with Jessie Kratz, the owner of The Shire Cottage Bakery. The entrepreneurs combined Kratz’s passion for home decor with King’s for brick and mortar retail, forming a creative medley with the tagline, “home decor, gifts and confections.”

“Baked goods are her wheelhouse, and get this, we are going after the college market,” King said. “College students during exam weeks, imagine their parents buying a basket called a ‘Berkshire Care Basket,’ rather than a care package. For MCLA and Williams College kids, we’re going to deliver directly to the dorms.”

The care baskets will indicate to the recipient that whomever sent it cares about them, she said. When they hold the basket they’ll know someone is thinking about them and wishing them well. The major draw of the basket is a boba mixture that’s been turned into “boba bombs” for people to make instant tea. People can drop the boba bomb in a cup of hot water and stir it for boba tea, or serve it over ice for iced boba tea.

“Taking my heritage from Taiwan, you have all kinds of flavors people can come in and choose,” King said. “People can have these boba bombs for four or six. Instead of calling it ‘boba bombs,’ we call it an instant party. Parents are delivering not baked goods, not boba tea; they’re delivering an experience.”

Part of these special care packages will be either a pizza cookie, or a Berkshire brookie, meaning a combination of a brownie and a cookie.

The box will also bear depictions of Berkshire scenery.

“From the Wigwam we have collected and brought licenses to all these beautiful Berkshire images — the Mohawk Trail, Mount Greylock — we have the rights to these pictures,” King said. “So we turned them into a photo strip and decorated the boba bomb box.”

The thinking behind the item is that, while the boba bombs were very popular among travelers who visited Wigwam Western Summit, they did not take with the local Adams community, who usually choose to buy the boba prepared at 57 Park Street.

King is a co-owner of Wigwam Western Summit in North Adams with partner Wayne Gelinas, who was born in North Adams and raised in Adams. Those deep Berkshire roots, she said, is part of the reason why the couple has looked to open businesses and stimulate downtown activity in Adams.

“Every time we pass by Park Street, we talk about how beautiful downtown is, how it has even more potential, and how we just thought instead of wishing somebody would do something, we leveraged our experience,” King said.

King said she and Kratz brainstormed for six months before settling on their idea, which stemmed from home decor options at the 57 Park Street business and at The Shire. Kratz said that if there was a retail location with more space, they could sell a wider selection of Bella Sky candles.

“She’s in contact with a lot of local crafters that make these gorgeous things,” King said of Kratz.

The new shop, which had a soft opening on Saturday and will have a grand opening this Friday, will also sell kids’ toys, including dinosaur-related items.

“I don’t think downtown can be revitalized without a place for people to go in and buy stuff,” King said.
