10/17/2009 Update:
Just in time for… Winter?
Not sure what the holdup is at Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices that’s been in the works over at 8th and Washington – but cold weather is coming, and that just isn’t synonymous with “frozen treats” now is it? From the evidence on scene, it seems like a PSE&G truck was there, and some digging was being done on the front… so perhaps some “technical glitches” are holding up the opening…

8/25/2009 Update:
Coming in September!
Hoboken411 has received quite a few emails asking when the upcoming Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices is opening up (there is demand for this – and many other businesses uptown).
Well – I stopped by yesterday, and spoke with owner Justin about exactly when they hope to open…
Ralph’s Italian Ices is experiencing the same issues that many new Hoboken businesses encounter – delays, hiccups and other unplanned problems. He said they originally hoped to open on September 1st – but may be pushed back a week or two – so anticipate the only Hoboken Italian Ice establishment with 30 flavors – to unlock their doors sometime the first half of September!
This will be a great summer relief to many nearby residents!

Just in time for summer!
Coming soon to 801 Washington Street, and much to the delight of non-downtown residents is “Ralph’s (Famous) Italian Ices!”
Taking over the doomed Sole Search retail store, Ralph’s must have read the Hoboken411 post about how that corner is so unassuming – and installed these easily visible bright blue window awnings! Now that’s noticeable!
With over 60 locations in the tri-state area, Ralph’s will certainly be a bit hit once they open (provided we’re not stuck with a super cold summer!)
Welcome to Hoboken!

I agree. Not sure if $5K is the monthly rent but the other overhead is bound to be well in excess of that number.
The numbers just don’t add up.

For some reason businesses come and go in Hoboken quicker than in most places. Take a walk down Washington and you’ll see what I mean.

You will probably notice at a mall that there are hardly any stores you’ve never heard of before. That’s because they have a policy of not renting to any outfit that has less than 1000 branches(or some other huge number). Basically, that’s because most little start-ups don’t make it. In Hoboken, Washington Street doesn’t make the parking requirements most chains hold out for, or the price per square foot. In addition, many first time retailers think you can sell just about anything for just about any price in Hoboken. Sort a new Jersey myth, that day-trippers are wandering Washington Street all weekend looking for nonsense to spend there money on. Those days are over, try Montclair or Red Bank. Whoops, too late. Guess what, the recession has probably hit Hoboken harder than most places, and most people in Hoboken don’t spend there money here except for essentials like dry cleaning, cups of coffee and delivery fast food. It’s sad, Washington Street actually used to be a decent destination.
