30 year lease is UP for renewal 10 year plus 2 renewals ……and the LL wants too much for the area. oh well
Remember the store at the corner of 48th st King Boulevard they had extra large clothing for men, and seemed to do a great business. That would attract people from other parts of the city to shop here. Also extra wide mens and womens shoes.
This store had to be a front.noo way could a store selling worthless JUNK ve able to sell that much to make rent, inventory , payroll etc.
Regardless of how you feel about the store and its offerings, you have to admit there is a huge issue in NYC with commercial rents. We need mom and pop stores, not just large chains.
Thank Jimmy Van Bremmer for his BS BID – all we got was rents doubled, businesses closing, empty storefronts, and way too many pharmacies and banks for such a small neighborhood.
@ I think its time to leave- Why don’t you leave already? You do nothing but complain. There are a thousand people waiting to take your studio apartment..
Is that you Bruno?Cant tolerate any criticism of your hero VanLamer.
I’m sure the owner regrets not advertising in the variuos Queens Post newspapers, Sunnyside Post, LIC Post, Greenpoint Post, etc.
Come off it people, Amazon has nothing to do with it. The biggest problem with our neighborhood is all the CRAP stores that are still open. The tide is changing folks and things need to get better with better stores. Time to bring in some real business with solid and needed merchandise. Landlords aren’t helping matters with their insanely high rents!!!!
sunnysider- 30 years in business speaks for itself.
It’s Amazon’s fault again
Another good bargain store gone.
Very far from good. PLEASE!!!!!
Speak for yourself.
