Brooks Brothers Permanently Closes Dupont, Georgetown and Friendship Heights Locations

Prince Of Petworth Today at 10:45am

Thanks to a reader for sending: “ran by the Brooks Brothers store on Connecticut in Dupont, and appears that a number of “Retail space available” signs went up over the weekend. Website confirms the location is now closed permanently. Between this and the Georgetown location closure, may be the death knell for Brooks Brothers in DC.”

1. Those are signs...

Those are signs of that "great economy" Predator Grump says is coming! Yeah, right.

This type of thing is going to snowball and become a daily jobs tragedy. It's already gaining steam and you can hear the dominoes falling.

2. Sad (I guess, I never went there;

Dad went on 5th Avenue.)

The time they are a changing.

4. Another classic store closes; Barney's in NYC closing was a shock

5. They just need to change their approach.

If they'd switch to pajamas, sweatpants, and pantsless suits, they could become clothiers to today's home-based workforce!

they have closed factories in the US too.
