26 Stores are Leaving New Yok City… Because of Theft

.
This is the best news ever.
This will make these old city politicians actually do something.

I think more should close...then people will start crying about "food deserts"...and of course scratching their heads like stupid idiots as to "why?"

They should have people heavily shoplift in areas where the Mayor lives.

As retailers and brands returned to New York City, many stores opened, reopened, and remodeled. In 2023, the trend for concept stores is the digital transformation of brick-and-mortar stores.

New stores in NYC include:

TAG Heuer (645 5th Ave): The flagship store for luxury Swiss watches benefited from the Formula 1 $10,000-plus Monaco Chronograph and actor Ryan Gosling wearing one of its pink-faced watches to promote the “Barbie” film.

NYC Store Openings Fall 2023​

November 7th, 2023

New York City’s retail landscape is expanding in fall 2023 as top brands open their doors to offer merchandise and create unique and immersive shopping experiences.
Coming tomorrow, Valentino’s Madison Avenue flagship will be open to the public while Swarovski‘s giant Fifth Avenue masterpiece will be opening any time this week, which we will be covering separately – stay tuned.
We explore these new retail destinations including the first-ever Le Père flagship and the revitalized Giorgio Armani boutique at Bergdorf Goodman. The streetwear label, Paper Planes, owned by Jay Z’s Roc Nation has recently opened its first permanent storefront.

1. Valentino Opens Flagship on Madison Avenue


Valentino has recently revealed its brand-new flagship store located at 654 Madison Avenue, taking the place of the former Calvin Klein flagship. This 12,292 square-foot store will open its doors to the public tomorrow, on November 8th. The store has three levels of retail space, including the basement, ground floor, a mezzanine, and a second floor.

2. Swarovski to Open Fifth Ave Flagship Soon​


Swarovski is set to unveil its 14,000 square foot flagship store this month, located at 680 Fifth Avenue on the corner of 54th Street. This remarkable store features an expansive two-story, 150-foot wraparound facade that spans nearly an entire city block. This marks Swarovski’s eighth location in New York, and we will provide an update on the grand opening as soon as the brand opens its doors.

3. Le Père Opened Its First Flagship in Lower East Side


In early October, Le Père opened its first flagship store in the Lower East Side, located at 90 Orchard Street. Launched a year and a half ago by Ryan Wright, the brand recognized the importance of connecting with customers directly and allowing them to experience the product in person, making it the perfect moment to establish a physical presence. The store is 1,000 square feet and offers a range of streetwear styles.

4. Palm Angels Opens in SoHo


Palm Angeles unveiled its latest retail location in SoHo, located at 70 Greene Street, on October 16th. This two-story, 2,300 square-foot store marks the third brick-and-mortar for the Milan-based streetwear brand in the United States. The store’s interior, crafted by the design firm Gilles & Boissier, includes a blend of minimalism and inviting warmth, featuring marble finishes and beautiful overhead lights. In anticipation of the downtown store’s grand opening, the brand also showcased its presence by taking over the windows at Saks Fifth Avenue.

5. Giorgio Armani Re Opens at Bergdorf Goodman


On October 19th, Giorgio Armani reopened its boutique in Bergdorf Goodman. The company hosted a private cocktail party hosted by model and actress Lauren Hutton and actress and singer Dianna Agron to celebrate the unveiling.

The new flagship store of the Italian luxury fashion house has come to Soho in July. The boutique's geometric and sleek interior features exclusive items from a new Emporio Armani SOHO collection, only sold at the 134 Spring Street location. Mr. Armani also shot the global advertising campaign for Emporio Armani in New York City, paying homage to the iconic EA Magazine that has captured the spirit of the brand since the 80s. The boutique itself also celebrates the style of Armani, featuring formalwear like dresses and tailored suits to casual attire in the brand's distinctive knitted and denim designs. Add this polished boutique to your NYC shopping bucket list.

Gucci has opened a new Manhattan store located in one of the city's most energetic areas: the Meatpacking District. Set on the corner of W 14 Street and 9th Avenue, the two-level boutique is interiorly designed with inspirations referenced from Florence and New York. Standout design concepts include painted cement flooring, a curved staircase, mirrored surfaces, bold colors, and vintage mid-century furniture. The decor also supports Gucci's commitment to sustainability as second-hand pieces and sustainably-made materials are incorporated throughout the space.

Khaite's first standalone store had its official unveiling as the setting for the brand's Fall/Winter 2023 runway show. The flagship stands on 165 Mercer Street in SoHo and perfectly encapsulates Khaite's defining elements with its darker mood and transformative edges.
"The design was conceived in terms of material—choosing the right materials and working with them in the right way to satisfy the programmatic requirements," said Griffen Frazen in the press release, architect and husband to Khaite's creative director Catherine Holstein. "We leaned into elemental qualities like natural light, preserving the scale and openness while creating intimate spaces."

On Feb. 17, Glossier opened its new SoHo store. Located on 72 Spring Street, the grand and elegant space serves to provide its customers with an interactive experience, including communal product testing areas, a gift shop, a Selfie room, and the Glossier You Lounge. The well-thought-out space is interiorly designed with nuanced inspirations from New York, as depicted by the concrete floors representative of an industrial edge matched with plush couches to add a softer and more residential feel.

Alaïa returned to the city with the opening of its first New York store since 1991. The location at 149 Mercer Street is just steps away from the Maison’s original boutique. According to Creative Director Pieter Mulier, New York is a “feeding ground for creativity.” Given the late Azzedine Alaïa’s long-standing artistic roots, coming back to SoHo was a natural next step. The thoughtfully curated space displays an assortment of artwork and furniture by Donald Judd, Mike Kelly, Jonathan Horowitz, and Robert Rauschenberg. Sleek and sophisticated, Alaïa’s New York store could likely double as an art gallery.

The Italian fashion house is bringing opulence to the Upper East Side with the debut of its new Madison Avenue boutique. The spacious interior is as ornate as we could expect from a Versace establishment: marble, silk, and gold accents complement floors featuring the house's signature Barocco prints and Greca designs. Visit the stately boutique at 747 Madison Avenue.
SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker


Sarah Jessica Parker relocated her flagship boutique to West Village. Formerly on West 54th Street, this downtown move is a fitting update given the recent reboot of Parker’s hit show, Sex and the City. The '70s-inspired space features an assortment of Parker’s Italian-made shoes, in addition to several SJP product varieties. Located in the heart of the action, the 500-square-foot boutique sits right at the corner of Bleecker and Perry Street.
Cult Gaia
Cult Gaia opened their first New York flagship location at 60 Wooster Street on February 8, 2023. After achieving Instagram virality in 2016 with the Ark bag, Cult Gaia has evolved into a full-fledged lifestyle brand. The space, much like Cult Gaia's pieces, is a work of art. Given the sculptural quality of the brand’s offerings, their new flagship store is informed by the grand colonnades of ancient temples. In each of the location's three distinct rooms, Cult Gaia’s signature standout pieces are offset by a relaxing color palette of earthy limestone and plaster. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city by retreating into Cult Gaia’s SoHo oasis.

The United States shot itself in the foot. This is a consequence of too many immigrants, refugees and the rise of leftism.

They should learn from North Korea and some other authoritarian countries in this case.

US is a narcissistic, dehumanized, Jew controlled failed state. It is the only "country" in OECD with a declining lifespan, worse than even the least developed countries in Africa at 73 years for males. There is massive poverty, homelessness and crime. Even Cuba which is under illegal embargo for over 60 years now has a much better universal health care system. This recent study is from an extreme right-wing "think tank".


According to the latest ACS data, nearly 41 million people in the United States lived below the poverty line in 2022. That is nearly 1.5 million more people than in 2019, before the pandemic struck (Figure 1).11 Oct 2023
