No idea different owner?

I think this is it. I remember hearing that BB Japan is locally owned.

Interesting - thanks for posting this.

BB Canada is in liquidation, and everything is around 80% off, with a few exceptions.

Their big store at Connecticut & M is still open here in DC along with their Mall store.

Maybe they are converting to a coffee chain - probably higher margins. 😉

Ralph Lauren did the coffee thing.

BB closed down their women's store and IAH airport location in Houston. I think the men's store and outlet are still here but the men's store moved locations in the Galleria. They used to have a very prominent location that was in front of a Starbucks right when you enter from the underground garage.

I work by the BB on 6th Ave and I think they actually expanded their footprint to take over the vacated space next to them.

That was a nice space. I do miss the old BB - they did excel in certain categories like shoes, and even winter outerwear.

I started buying from them in 2007. Loved the Fitzgerald cut in the 1818, especially the ones made by Lardini. Had a salesman that knew what I liked and would email me when stuff dropped. Still have an Inspector Clouseau-grade BBF trench coat.

Looks like Mashburn does coffee as well.

That was from their IP page announcing last day of Summer Sale. I'm guess that's Atlanta.

It's in Atlanta. Attached to Ann's store. A nice little spot.
