That’ll teach us to sit on a story! We’ve known for a couple of weeks that Barney’s Co-op was going to be taking the retail space at Two Trees-owned 194 Atlantic Avenue (next door to Trader Joe’s) but were persuaded to sit on the story until the lease was signed. Looks like that didn’t work out too well for us: Barney’s gave the story to WWD which ran it behind its pay wall yesterday and Racked picked it up. Nice guys finish last. Great news for this stretch of retail though! Anyone know what level of rent this got done at?

  1. Barney’s Coop often sells clothes, like Filene’s Basement used to do in the good old days in Boston, that hadn’t sold in the main store. So could be very good place to shop. Significance is more serious men’s clothes in downtown Brooklyn, adds to the stores on Smith, Altantic and Court.
    See the current store on West 18th in Manhattan.

  2. Looks like I’m in the minority, but I’m actually pretty jazzed about this.

    Isn’t retail diversity a good thing?

    Besides, the sale prices at the Co-op can often be oh-so-good. Seven jeans for less than a pair of Levi’s. Theory sportcoats at Men’s Wearhouse prices.

  3. Brownstoner, you did have this story. I read it here a week or so ago, and before that, months or a year ago. If they haven’t yet signed a lease, you can only say they’re planning to. You can’t report what hasn’t happened yet.
