UWS Linen Store To Close After 60 Years In The Neighborhood

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Ah, sheet! An Upper West Side linen store will close this fall after more than six decades in the neighborhood.

Mel Laytner, a member of the family that runs the business, confirmed on Facebook that Laytner's Linen & Home will close its storefront at 2276 Broadway (corner of West 82nd and Broadway) after 62 years in the neighborhood.

"After a 62-year run on Broadway as neighborhood merchants on the Upper West Side, our family is closing Laytner's Linen & Home this fall," Laytner wrote.

The business sells home goods, bedding, quilts, blankets, pillows, towels, and robes.

"Who you sleep with is your business, what you sleep with is ours," reads the company's slogan.

"Wow Mel! I never made the connection! Bought all our bed linen there," one customer wrote on Laytner's Facebook post.

A store employee told ILoveTheUpperWestSide, which was the first publication to report on the closing, that the business' last day would be September 30.

The store's windows are now plastered with signs that say "20 percent to 70 percent off everything," "It's The Final Curtain Call," and "Stock Up Forever."
