New York & Company has permanently closed at 937 Ellsworth Drive in downtown Silver Spring. The merchandise has all been cleared out, leaving bare racks and mannequins behind. Despite high profile clothing lines featuring partnerships with celebrities like Eva Mendes and Gabrielle Union, New York & Company filed for bankruptcy this summer.
You can chalk this closure up to the pandemic. With people working from home, and no social activity that requires you to look fabulous, who wants or needs to buy high-end clothing just to hing in the closet. The market is just not there now.
