Cambridge’s beloved Great Eastern Trading Co. has recently expanded to a storefront in Malden by the name of Great Eastern Vintage. In 53 years of business, Great Eastern has never grown beyond its home store in Central Square, save for a few pop-ups here and there. With the detrimental economic effects of the pandemic bringing down business, owner Nephtaliem McCrary, a local vintage fashion aficionado, has brought Great Eastern Trading Co. to Malden, with plans to revitalize the business and join the city’s developing community. Boston Hassle visited McCrary at the new store, located at 258 Highland Avenue, to learn about the new space and Great Eastern’s new community.
