Forever 21 is Not Century 21

century 21 mega shopping.jpgTwo days ago, Reuters reported that the closing Virgin Megastore in Times Square will be replaced by a Century 21, the famous mega outlet in Lower Manhattan.

But today, the New York Times says that Virgin will be replaced by Forever 21, which is obviously a completely different store, though both sell clothing at astonishingly low prices (the difference being, you can find Marc at Century 21, and Marc knock-offs at Forever).

We’re pretty sure the Times is right, even though WWD did report back in November that this unprecedentedly enormous Forever 21 would occupy the old space from Tower Records, which is obviously different from Virgin.

But it’s Thursday, so we’re pretty sure this is all fine.

Same thing happened here in Chicago. Virgin Megastore smack in the middle of prominent Magnificent Mile was shuttered to make way for the largest Forever 21 I've ever seen.
