New York’s iconic mouth-watering boutique Russ & Daughters is heading to the small screen. According to Deadline, fourth-generation co-owners Niki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper have signed a deal with Time Magazine’s entertainment studio to develop a scripted television series about the century-old Lower East Side business. Federman and Tupper will serve as consulting producers on the project, reports Deadline.

Russ & Daughters recently celebrated 100 years in business on East Houston Street. Joel Russ opened the appetizing shop on Orchard Street in 1914, before moving to its current home at 179 East Houston Street between Orchard and Allen streets in 1920. Federman and Tupper took over the business in 2009, opening locations at the Jewish Museum on the Upper East Side, which has since closed, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

It is currently unknown when the series will begin filming. Eater has contacted Russ & Daughters for more information.
