The unanticipated closure of the final store in this state marks the end of a beloved clothes retail chain’s 17-year run.
Urban Outfitters sent a final message to its customers before closing its doors for good in Brooklyn, New York.
For seventeen years, this shop served the residents of the Cobble Hill area.
The Brooklyn Paper reports that the store’s closing day was marked on June 23 with a sign posted on the front door.
An additional comment that verified the permanent removal of this branch was attached to this one.
The sign instructed customers to visit another Urban Outfitters location on Long Island or Manhattan as the current one is closed indefinitely.
This location’s shuttering followed the sudden disappearance of a second Brooklyn location a few weeks earlier.
