Loss of Century 21 leaves a big void on 86th Street
Century 21 Department Store, which has anchored the 86th Street shopping corridor for decades, closed for good on Dec. 6.
The retail chain announced in September that it had filed for bankruptcy and would close its 13 stores. The Bay Ridge location opened in 1961.
The store’s website says, “Thank you to our loyal customers. Thank you for your continued support and patronage.”
