Following a year of uncertainty, The World’s Only Curious George Store is poised to keep its spot in Harvard Square for the long haul.

The Abbot and two other Harvard Square buildings are set for a sweeping redesign led by real estate firm Regency Centers. The project had threatened the Curious George Store’s long-term standing in the area.
