The burgeoning nightlife and thumping bass may be on Glenwood South, but Sanjay Matai apparently thinks the hipness extends further north. He has opened his co-ed, high fashion boutique at Triangle Town Center.

Casanova, which held its grand opening this month, is combination Euro hyper trend wear and American urban and hip-hop boutique. The interior is decked out with red leather couches and has velvet ropes on the weekends to create a lounge-y feel.

The 7,000-square-foot store is the second location for the Manhattan-based retailer. Matai has plans to open locations at the Streets at Southpoint in Durham and in Charlotte.

Triangle Town Center is at the intersection of Capital Boulevard and Interstate 540.

Also at Triangle Town Center, the doomed Suncoast Motion Picture Co. will be holding its clearance sales for about four more weeks before closing.

Offering up to 60 percent off selected merchandise, the movie emporium stocks movie memorabilia and posters in addition to DVDs.

The closures of the Triangle Town Center and Crabtree Valley Mall locations are part of a 341-store liquidation.
