Bay Ridge’s 86th St. attracts nationwide chain stores
But BID director says mom-and-pop shops at home there too
It’s no secret! Victoria’s Secret is coming to Bay Ridge!
The famous lingerie emporium, whose fashion shows draw millions of online viewers eager to see gorgeous models strut their stuff in sexy undergarments, is planning to open up shop on 86th Street. Victoria’s Secret isn’t the only national chain setting up shop on 86th Street. A new Chipotle Mexican Grill, which recently opened at 463 86th St., is also the talk of the town.
Eighty-Sixth Street is one of the premier shopping destinations in southern Brooklyn, boasting more than 100 shops and restaurants on the blocks between Fourth Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway. Thousands of shoppers visit the area each day and those numbers explode on weekends, when tens of thousands of people come to shop, according to Patrick Condren, executive director of the 86th Street Bay Ridge Business Improvement District (BID), a group that represents property owners and merchants.
