Neighborhood Goods expects to open a shop at New York’s Chelsea Market in the fall. The move comes as the North Texas startup scores additional financial help as it brings a fresh take to retail. Neighborhood Goods announced an $11 million Series A funding round, bringing the total amount it’s raised to more than $25 million. It expects this amount to grow in the “coming weeks,” according to a statement on Wednesday.
