Urban Outfitters coming to Atlantic Avenue
Josh Guttman | October 18, 2007
As the onslaught of national chain retailers on Bergen Carroll-country continues, I understand that Urban Outfitters recently signed a lease on a 10,000 square foot space at 164 Atlantic Ave at Clinton Street. Rumors have been flying about this for the past few months and The Brooklyn Eagle broke details of the story last month. BK11201 also photo-blogged construction on the site recently. Some thoughts:
- Is our neighborhood quickly becoming the most McDonald-ized in Brooklyn? (even though earlier McDonald’s on Court rumors were unfounded)
- While I like Urban Outfitters at 14th and 6th when I get off the F-train there, I’m not sure I like it as much around the corner from my house. Thoughts?
- As The Brooklyn Eagle aptly points out, are there enough teenagers in the neighborhood to support a store like this? Especially considering smaller businesses that haven’t been able to succeed on Atlantic….like Ben and Jerry’s.
