There’s enthusiasm and hope on the horizon for the thousands of Century 21 store devotees who are eagerly waiting for it to reopen after its demise in 2020.
The PR folks for Century 21 said last week that the Cortland Street store in the financial district would be opening “mid-spring,” which some are calculating to mean around May 20. The PR announcement added, “SOON!” so it might even be sooner than that date.
In February, the store promised to open on April 25. The flagship closed in fall 2020, when the company filed for bankruptcy and shut down stores across the country.
The store is partnering with the concert venue manager Legends “to introduce a revitalized shopping experience to Century 21’s faithful local – and global – fans.”
It sounds like much of it will be same as it ever was, but perhaps an even more enjoyable shopping experience, thanks to the partnership.
“This partnership will couple Legends omnichannel operating expertise with Century 21’s expert curation of designer brands at amazing prices, to bring fans of the iconic brand an enhanced shopping experience in-store and online,” the store said on its website. “The re-opened Cortlandt Street location will span the four main floors of the original downtown space and will offer men’s, women’s and children’s designer apparel, footwear, outerwear, handbags, accessories and fragrances.”
