The spot once occupied by Formosa Cuisine, and previously the original Coppola’s of Poughkeepsie, will soon be home to a new business. Located at 825 Main Street, this location has seen increased activity recently, signaling that a new venture is on its way.
Back in December, there was some speculation about what would fill the space after Formosa Cuisine closed its doors. Crews were spotted cleaning both the interior and exterior of the building, and many wondered if the beloved restaurant might make a comeback.
Poughkeepsie Shipping Inc. Announced
After months of anticipation, we can now confirm that the new business will be called Poughkeepsie Shipping Inc. A sign was recently installed at the location, advertising services such as private mailboxes, packing and shipping, and even an EV charging station.
According to Town of Poughkeepsie Planning Department documents from July 2024, the building at 825 Main Street is being retrofitted to include a work-share space, a FedEx drop-off, and mailboxes, further indicating the business’s focus on shipping and postal services.
The man who installed the sign confirmed that Poughkeepsie Shipping Inc. is expected to open in April, bringing a fresh business to Main Street. While further details about the business are still unclear, locals can look forward to this new addition in the coming weeks.
