A shop selling local products will be popping up next month at a Japanese culture center in Long Island City.

Made In Queens, a retail store selling all Queens-made goods that was run by the Queens Economic Development Corporation, shut down its 27 -24 Queens Plaza South location earlier this year. However, it will return as a pop-up shop for a month at Resobox, a Japanese café and culture center at 41-26 27th Street.

The pop-up shop will open on April 9 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and will run until May 6, offering crafts, apparel and small-batch, artisanal food products.

Vendors will include Sandra Smith designer bags, Metrix Jewelry, Hooks and Luxe accessories, Forest Witch loose leaf teas, Keri Confections, Queens Thread, Chi-Cho Sauce, DaniPrints, Niizeki Hiromi Studio, Paris Images, Halety Sweetz, Cecilia Motwani unisex style, and Wishwas garments.

“It’s a win-win! Visit MiQ @ Resobox and peruse wonderful products made by local crafters and then enjoy some delicious Japanese food, including sushi, miso soup, various noodles and even mochi ice cream,” said QEDC Director of Business Services Sante Antonelli in a statement.

In addition to at the pop-up shop, MiQ products and further information are available online at www.madeinqueens.nyc.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
