Nosh, MySalon Opening in Revamped Third Street Location This Spring

Nosh LLC, a collaboration between Nosh Restaurant and MySalon, is working to bring life to an empty downtown property at 22 N. Third St.

Built in 1942, the building has been vacant since 2008 and is in need of a variety of service and façade upgrades. The Geneva City Council approved a sales tax sharing agreement in March to assist with the costs of upgrading utilities and retrofitting the structure, according to a recent city of Geneva newsletter.

"The project entails a $1.8 million investment that will result in the retention and expansion of jobs, help anchor the North Third Street corridor and strengthen the city's commercial tax base," according to the newsletter.

Nosh, currently located at 211 James Street, has been bringing fresh, flavorful food to Geneva since 2007. The new location will offer expanded seating, both indoors and outdoors.

"We're looking forward to the opportunity to bring the Nosh vibe that our customers love to the new, bigger location, along with a revamped menu and a fresh look," Nosh owner Mike Dixon said. "We're calling it Nosh 2.0."

My Salon, currently located in St. Charles, will bring its contemporary atmosphere and modern approach to the west end of the building.

"Twenty years ago when I started doing hair, I started in Geneva. Now I'm coming back home," MySalon owner Tom Stuart said.

Nosh and My Salon are expected to open at the new location this spring, according to the city of Geneva news release.
