SCRANTON — Owners of the Fanciful Fox, a handmade soap boutique on Adams Avenue in Scranton, have announced plans to relocate to New York City at the end of the month.

"It's been a five-year goal in the making," co-owner Amanda Fox said of the move. "We're trying to grow and move where our customers are."

Ms. Fox said the Scranton store will close by early July and move to the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. She hoped to serve customers in the Scranton area through online orders.

"It's so important to us to keep in touch with all of our customers who have become friends," Ms. Fox said.
