Austin Street's Ann Taylor to Close in January

Forest Hills' Ann Taylor store will close early in the new year, an employee at the shop said.

Ann Taylor, located at 71-09 Austin St., will permanently shut its doors on Jan. 4. An employee at the women's clothing store said that workers were not told why the store was closing.

The shop is not currently offering any going-out-of-business sales. 

Some nearby Ann Taylor stores are located at Queens Center Mall and the Bay Terrace Shopping Center.
