Century 21 making a comeback. Is Bay Ridge store’s relaunch part of plan?
Century 21 Department Stores is planning to make a comeback.
The retail chain that filed for bankruptcy last September and closed its 13 stores toward the end of last year, including its flagship Bay Ridge location at 472 86th St., is saying online that it will be coming back to the New York metro area, although it gave no concrete details on whether this comeback would include a “brick and mortar location.”
“Never count out a New Yorker. In response to the outpouring of love from the Big Apple and the admiration of their loyal shoppers from around the world, Century 21 Stores announced they will officially relaunch the beloved institution in 2021,” the chain’s website, which is still active, announced on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
