Peekaboutique Is Looking for a Buyer

Mike Stanton's real job is his promotional products company, Agit Prop, but Noe Valley residents have known him for last nine years as an owner at Peekaboutique, the new-and-used children's clothing and toy store at the corner of Castro and 24th Street. Soon, his tenure there will come to a close.

After spotting a "for sale" sign in the shop window, we stopped by to inquire about the future of the 27-year-old store. Mike tells us that he's looking for a buyer for the store, and moving to Berlin by the end of the year. (He declined to give an exact selling price, explaining that the price will be based on the cost of goods the new owner assumes, the percentage of fixtures purchased, and good will.) Fancy yourself as a shopkeeper? There are already several interested parties, but you can join in the boutique-buying fun by contacting Mike at mstanton@agitpropolis.com or 415-644-5132.
