Sunset Park fixture Jason’s closing after 75 years
All good things must come to an end.
Sunset Park residents are learning that lesson as one of the fixtures of the neighborhood’s shopping area, Jason’s, will be shutting its doors for good in the coming weeks. The women’s clothing store has been in Sunset for 75 years and store owners and shoppers are saddened that the shop will soon be no more.
“I’m beyond sad,” said co-owner Alan Eilenberg who has been with the store since 1967. “But the changing neighborhood wasn’t right for our business anymore. Our regular customers have been fantastic. Our problem has been getting new ones.”
