Closing Bell: Blue Marble Packing Up
We wrote about the closing of the Blue Marble flagship store in late August, and said they would be closing up in a few weeks. When passing by yesterday, we saw employees organizing and packing up what looked to be what’s left of the store. What a bummer. The ‘For Rent’ sign, though, at $3,500…
We wrote about the closing of the Blue Marble flagship store in late August, and said they would be closing up in a few weeks. When passing by yesterday, we saw employees organizing and packing up what looked to be what’s left of the store. What a bummer. The ‘For Rent’ sign, though, at $3,500 a month is still there.
They wouldn’t pay 3500 and said landlord hiked rent, so old rent was in the 2k neighborhood. I gotta say, they could have paid that. But then they got the Brooklyn Bridge Park concession and maybe decided to move along? That’s cool — I just wouldn’t have blamed the landlord for a reasonable ask
Want to make someone jealous? Walk out of one of their stores sipping a root beer float on a hot day.
Oh, the stares!

NO! greedy greedy greedy ice make makers. sorry but 10 dollars a scoop for ice cream is not a sustainable business , especially in a skanky area.

Sniff. When we were in there the other night they told me they were staying open until the end of October. Maybe this chilly weather has them packing it in early? Sniff.
“They would rather see a place sit vacant for years than have a well-loved, good tenant at a reasonable rent. ”
$3,500 isn’t exactly an unreasonable rent for that space/location.
Greedy greedy greedy landlords. They would rather see a place sit vacant for years than have a well-loved, good tenant at a reasonable rent. May they fry in a place where no ice cream ever stays frozen long.
There’s 20 vacancies on 7th Avenue. It ain’t just Atlantic.
There’s two or three vacancies within a stones throw of Blue Marble. I guess empty storefronts on Atlantic Avenue is the new black.
