The Express store at 490 Fulton Street on the Fulton Mall opened last night with a block party outside where Roberta’s pizza was served, the New York Observer reported. Express CEO and Brooklyn native Michael Weiss was there and remembers the glory days of downtown. He started his career at Abraham & Strauss, now long gone, but originally one of four department stores on Fulton Street. Now chains such as Express, Brooklyn Industries, the Gap and H&M are making the area slightly more upscale than it has been in recent years.
