Glasgow Vintage Co. has apparently closed on East 9th Street



The Glasgow Vintage Co. has cleared out of its retail space at 331 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue… one source on the block believes they left on Monday…



There isn't any mention of a closure on the vintage clothing store's social media properties.

The store, which has a 21-year-old flagship location in Glasgow, just opened last September.

In reporting on the lease deal last year, the Commercial Observer noted that the rent here was $6,500. The broker told the Commercial Observer that the deal is significant "because it’s the 'highest price per square foot on the block,' and it's a 'new international operator reconfirming the growth of East Village boutique retail.'"

  1. Obviously the broker did not consult Zoltar before spewing that twaddle about 'a new international operator reconfirming the growth of East Village boutique retail', or s/he would have known this place wouldn't even last a year. $6500 - that was probably what the store rent was for an entire year when this city still had some grip on reality.
