Daffy's Failure Means a Vacancy at Atlantic Terminal Mall

The news that discount retailer Daffy’s is closing its doors after more than five decades may not bring a tear to many readers’ eyes but it does mean something for the Downtown Brooklyn real estate market: One of the the Secaucus, N.J.-based chain’s 19 locations is at the Atlantic Terminal Mall. While that might seem like bad news for landlord Forest City Ratner at first blush, given rising rental rates for retail in recent months in the area around Barclays Center, it might actually be a boon to the developer. After all, it’s 20,000 square feet right across the street from the arena.
It seems to make sense to add a Home Goods store here. Again, not sure if it’s large enough, but you can usually find them near a Marshall’s or TJ Max at other shooing Centers.
The restaurant next to Daffy’s is an Applebee’s now.
I will miss Daffy’s–we found some really good bargains there.
Are you kidding? I’m bawling here.
