Is CoinSuperStore opening an old fashioned store front in Connecticut?

On Saturday morning, Longacre's limo was motoring him to his parents' house, in an undisclosed location in Connecticut. Briefly looking up from my Wall St Journal, I gazed out the window at the hoi polloi on the streets. I was shocked to see, nestled snugly near a car wash and a laundromat, there appeared to be an old-fashioned storefront housing a coin concern called CoinSuperStore. I have heard of them before, having attended a coin show that they host in New Haven in the past.
Thinking that it was quaint to see an actual coin store, I could not tell if the store was in the process of being opened, or being shut down. I hope it is the former. In today's age where one can surf the internet from their overstuffed chair and order any coin they want on the planet, I was curious if this store was truly opening, or whether it was a Numismatic Mirage™. Does anyone know? The next time I am back in the old 'hood, I will instruct the driver to pull over so I can check it out (keeping the motor running, of course).

Hope all is well.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
There is another shop in Milford/Orange on Rt 1, if you are heading south it is on the right. I don't know the name of it, and if you are not looking for it you will miss it. Not a bad stop either if you are down that way.
Any good steamed cheeseburger shops in that area?

Indeed.
Looking forward to hearing the full report once you have a chance to visit in person.
