StreetLevel: Swedish Fast Fashion to Invade Fulton Mall?
Intriguing…Racked is reporting via “an informant” that H&M’s second Brooklyn location (the other’s way down on Avenue U) is going to be at the Fulton Mall. If the rumor’s true, it’ll be a victory for the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, which has been pushing for more big-name chains to sign leases at the Mall. Storecasting: H&M…

i disagree….I probably spoke too harshly. Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes I do that. I went to the one on 5th Ave about 6-7 years ago when it first opened and walked out the stuff was so bad. I’m sure its gotten better.
i disagree is my new hero.
yum!
oh, dave. so disappointed in you. today i’m wearing a skirt i bought at h&m three years ago for $19. it still looks great, and i bought a brownstone last year.
“I just hope the change includes a bike path so I don’t get run over by a bus.”
You gotta know what you’re doing! Dodging the buses and never-look-for-a-bike pedestrians is all part of the fun, man! You guys don’t even know how to enjoy Brooklyn.
sdrubbins is correct. Fulton Mall does command more money per sq foot because of the heavy traffic. much more then 5th ave or 7th ave in park slope….WHICH ROCKS!
Sunset park is where its at!
some people will be glad, most people won’t care. i plan to shop this location on the occasion i need something cheap, trendy & cheaply made.
And, to be on-topic: the Fulton Mall argument has been beaten to death. The facts are simple: it brings in more money per square foot and/or per capita than any other retail district in Brooklyn. Yes, it’s different from Montague St./Smith St./5th Ave./7th Ave./etc. Yes, the storefronts are loud and ugly. Yes, more black poeople than white people shop there. THAT’S OKAY. Not every retail district has to be a clone of the same cookie-cutter yuppie ideal. Fulton Mall has been and continues to be a raving success, just the way it is. Anyone who thinks it needs to change is either a snob or a developer.
Nevertheless, we know how these things play out. The snobs and developers always win. Like it or not, Fulton Mall is going to change.
I just hope the change includes a bike path so I don’t get run over by a bus.
