It seemed like only a matter of time before chain stores set their sights on the somewhat desolate strip of real estate at Brooklyn's Fulton Mall. Joining Aeropostale and H&M—both of which should be opening soon—Filene's Basement/Syms announced it will open its first Brooklyn store at the Fulton Mall in early 2012.
The massive, 40,000 square-foot outpost will occupy a ground and sub-level space of the 5-floor building, making it a prominent anchor for the the mall. While it might be a little farther out of the way than the Union Square location—or even its other soon-to-open store on Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street, perhaps that means better bargain finds will be in store.
