Even if you've become accustomed to online shopping in 2023, in-person shoppers can browse through Century 21 Tuesday afternoon.
The flagship store in Lower Manhattan is reopening its doors at noon. The lights will be on and shelves will be stocked at 22 Cortlandt Street.
The store is known for its jammed-packed racks and great sales for committed deal hunters. Century 21 opened up back in the 1960s and eventually expanded to 13 stores.During the pandemic, each of those stores shut down. After bankruptcy, the family who used to own the chain bought back the name and announced the flagship would reopen.The city comptroller's office estimates more than 5,200 city businesses shut down because of the pandemic.
"Thank you for believing in New York City. Thank you for being 'New York strong' and coming back no matter what. You know there's gonna be a lot of New Yorkers who can't wait to walk through the door of Century 21 again," former Mayor Bill De Blasio said in 2021. Retail still has not fully recovered from the pandemic, with soaring rent prices citywide. Thankfully for the family who runs Century 21, they also own the building where the flagship is located.
The store's bankruptcy did away with 3000 jobs, including 2400 union jobs. That union is demanding former employees get their union-protected jobs back.ALSO READ |
