A&S sat along "Department Store Row" with other giants of retail that have long since been absorbed by other companies or shut down.

Macy’s is set to close five New York City locations over the next three months as part of its nationwide cutbacks. Of course, Macy’s Herald Square won’t be affected, but the Macy’s department store in Downtown Brooklyn that is beloved by so many longtime Brooklynites will be shuttered.

Macy's has announced it will close 66 stores across the country, including its historic Downtown Brooklyn outpost at 422 Fulton Street.
