GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- The Balloonary, a women-owned gift and party supply store, is set to become a pop-up store in Stuyvesant Plaza. The store will be located between Lola Saratoga and Warby Parker through Dec. 31.

"We look forward to welcoming a locally and woman-owned business, The Balloonary, to Stuyvesant Plaza this fall through the holiday season," Stuyvesant Plaza General Manager Rachel Ferluge said. "Nina and Stephanie have created a unique brand focused on balloon décor for celebrations and gifts of all shapes and sizes. Their concept store will be incredibly well received by Plaza shoppers in search of the perfect gifts for family and friends."
