Former Eileen Fisher space for rent on 9th Street

The former Eileen Fisher storefront at 314 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue is now available ... the for lease sign arrived this past week. (Thanks to Steven for the photo.)

No sign of the listing online just yet.

The shop had been closed since late August for "building maintenance." 

Management made the closure official last month. A note on the door for patrons read: 

After much thought, we have decided to close our 9th Street Eileen Fisher store. 

We thank you for being part of this special community and will miss you.

This was Fisher's first location, opening in 1987. Her brand grew to 50-plus shops around the country and sales in various department stores.
