Brother and sister Conor and Cara Maloney set out in 2016 to design and manufacture clothing that reflects their love for Saratoga. They got the idea while vacationing in Cape Cod.

“We saw a company that had a very similar community feel,” said Cara Maloney. “They came up with a design that really reflected Cape Cod.”

Conor, a 27-year-old SUNY Oneonta graduate and physical therapist at Albany Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, designed the Toga Threads logo. The horse-inspired logo pays homage to Saratoga’s horse racing history.

“My brother was gifted with artistic design ability,” said Maloney.

Twenty-three-year-old Cara, a Siena graduate, is a development specialist at Special Olympics New York. She also waitresses at Charlton Tavern in Ballston Lake. The restaurant has been in the Maloney family for 70 years and is operated by her parents.

In a community that has health, history and horses in its motto, Menges & Curtis Apothecary has promoted all three ideals for nearly 158 years. This iconic business at 472 Broadway is the longest continually operating enterprise in Saratoga Springs and new owners Jennifer and Scott Lamb are committed to carrying on its traditions while ushering in some new ones.

Pharmacy is a second education for Jennifer Lamb. She graduated in 2012 with the goal of getting into the non-traditional area of compounding medications for humans and animals. While this specialty is gaining popularity, she said training is needed beyond a chemistry background and what university offers.

“After graduation I had to reach out to independents to teach me, like an apprentice,” said Lamb. “In order to go into veterinary pharmacy you have to learn to compound, because there are far fewer commercial medications for animals as people. And dosages vary if you are compounding for a mouse or a horse or an elephant.”

Her mentor was George Doherty of Fallon Wellness Pharmacy. His sudden passing came around the time that Michael Lenz, who partnered with Peter Fallon, wanted to sell the compounding pharmacy that his father had purchased in the late 1950s, originally named Menges & Curtis.

Teakwood Builders is now moved into its headquarters, a former 1940s service station at 75 Church St.

The building, which took 10 months to renovate, serves as office and showroom for the construction and renovation company.

The building maintains its boxy shape and style but has been transformed into an “industrial chic” building, providing 3,100 square feet of office and showroom space. 

“We had great fun playing off that style,“ said owner and president Jim Sasko. “There was something really appealing about this box-style building and its history as a garage. Converting this older structure into a contemporary post-modern showpiece gave us the opportunity to show off our creativity and construction abilities, and we are proud of how it turned out.”

The facility also provides space to display its new sister company, Housewright Cabinetry.

By Susan E. Campbell

The Mercantile Kitchen and Bar is a new restaurant that co-owner and managing partner Chris Luriea hopes will “fill a gap” among the eateries on Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs.

“The Merc” offers “a fun diner menu” from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at night. It serves breakfast all day, and boasts “a bar that can make any drink,” Luriea said.

It is in the space that was once Cantina restaurant and for years operated as Professor Moriarity’s. The business opened Nov. 9. 

The idea of a modern diner had been percolating in Luriea’s mind for many years when he got a call in June from Jeff Ames, owner of the restaurant Cantina, which relocated a few doors down on Broadway and where Luriea had been bar manager for about six years.

Ames indicated he was making some changes at his restaurant and presented the prospect of collaborating on something new. Cantina was relocating from 430 Broadway to number 408.
