Brooklyn Industries Now Open on Cortelyou

No more trekking to Park Slope to fulfill your hip, Brookln-based clothing needs. 

Brooklyn Industries, the DUMBO-based apparel company, opened its newest outpost in the former Avon outlet at 1420 Cortelyou Rd. at Marlborough Road on Tuesday.

This is the brand's eighth borough location and 16th in the city. 

In June, Ditmas Park Patch asked readers what they wanted to see fill the space. Suggestions ranged from a pet store to a pharmacy to a fishmonger, though nowhere in the comments did anyone request an upmarket clothing store. 

Nevertheless, according to the Brooklyn Paper a large chunk of Brooklyn Industries' customer base hails from the neighborhood, meaning at least some people will be grateful to save themselves the hike to one of Park Slope's two locations. 

And according to a sales clerk, the store has received a warm welcome, with customers popping their heads in all last week to find out when they would open.

Have you been to the new store? Are you happy to see it in the neighborhood? Tell us in the comments.
