Century 21 Department Store has opened its 11th location at Brooklyn’s City Point development.
The off-price retailer’s new store will feature women’s, men’s, shoes, accessories, children’s, cosmetics and home departments. It will be the first full-line department store to open in downtown Brooklyn’s Fulton Street in over 50 years, according to the company. The store will occupy four floors and 140,000-square-feet of City Point, a 1.8-million-square foot retail, residential and office space under development.
“Our company appreciates communities rich with character, places where we can become an organic thread of the community and deliver real value to our consumers,” said Raymond Gindi, co-CEO of Century 21 Department Store. “Our City Point location will bring numerous employment opportunities to the area with 300 full and part-time positions. It will feature a Brooklyn Roasting Company Café, a luxury vintage boutique, and much more.”
The store will also feature the company’s C21on1 stylist program available in person and by appointment, along with upscale fitting rooms and an expanded women’s sizing department. The store’s design features chandeliers and clean, streamlined merchandising fixtures.
In recent years, the company has opened two additional stores in Philadelphia and Green Acres, with an additional opening planned for fall 2016 in Sawgrass Mills, Florida.
In addition, the company also recently launched its first private label credit card in partnership with Alliance Data Systems.
