Located in Downtown South Orange, The Co-Lab is a space where people can shop small. It’s a non-profit organization that serves as a space where small businesses can begin to launch brick-and-mortar locations. When visitors walk in they will see pop-up shops on the right side that change every weekend. On the left side are more permanent stores that have leased a space in the building. Some of these include Grā, Daily Greatness, Noble Hungers, Cereal Dreams, and Soma Wheelhouse. The Co-Lab is open from Thursday through Sunday.
