Attention NYC shoppers...
 

We're losing another old friend. After 30 years of business, Canal Jeans is closing its doors. So long to a really great store.

The store was never the same since it moved from it's original location.<BR>Bloomingdales will be opening a store in that entire building.

When is that going to happen?<BR>I wanted to check out that store early December...

Your thread reminds me of; Altmans, Gimbels, A&amp;S, Klien's, Korvettes, TSS, Mays, Alexanders, Martins, Woolworth, Montegomery Ward, Grants, Orbachs, Goodwins, Franklin Simon, Bonwit Teller, Arnold Constable, WJ Sloane, Lafayette, Trader Horn, SaveMart, Bohack, Caldors, all great retail names that have long since passed into memory.<BR><BR>Does anyone have any other &quot;big names&quot; to add to the New York retailing graveyard?

to Remembering: I still miss B. Altman! That was the best, classiest store, NY has nothing like it now. I still think about it fondly every time I pass that great old building on 34th Street. Those were the days! I also remember Korvettes on 14th St and Alexander's uptown, with less fondness. But I did shop there when I was young, new to the city and broke! ;-)<BR><BR>Also to add to your list: Best &amp; Co.

I don't think that Canal Jeans fits into the category of &quot;great&quot; or iconic retailers to go out of business, but to each his/her own, I guess...
