Kennedy & Co. closed back in 1999, but the store's antique sign is back on the market. The 668 Centre St. space today is home to Hatched. But the original, porcelain-coated enamel on steel sign that graced the front of the store was bought by JP Lick's Vince Petryk. He recently put word out that's he's selling the 19-foot by 3-foot sign for $999.
"I am hoping that the sign can remain in Jamaica Plain," said neighborhood historian Michael Reiskind.
That store front has a special place in Jamaica Plain News history, as that was the venue for our April 3 launch.
Interested persons are asked to email Vince Petryk at vincent@jplicks.com.
Here's another view of the sign. Reiskind says it is in two parts so it can be taken apart for transport (hopefully not outside of JP, though!)
