Busy First Day at Urban Outfitters

Store will be open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Just three hours after opening its doors on Thursday, Urban Outfitters was already bustling with shoppers who stopped in to check out the retailer on its first day. Featuring three floors of merchandise, the store offers fun and funky clothing for men and women as well as eclectic items such as turntables, speakers shaped like skateboards and even some tongue-in-cheek reading material including Suri's Burn Book and Feminist Ryan Gosling: Feminist Theory (as Imagined) from Your Favorite Sensitive Movie Dude. Customers throughout the store could be heard saying "cool" or check it out" as much of the stock caters to a young, trendy audience.  Urban Outfitters' staffers were friendly and helpful, with all appearing to run smoothly on the first…

Zoning Board of Adjustment Approves Urban Outfitters' Application

Applicant primarily seeks relief to allow for non-storage uses in building's basement.

The Westfield Zoning Board of Adjustment unanimously approved the application submitted by international retailer Urban Outfitters at a special meeting held Wednesday evening.  A resolution will be adopted at the Board of Adjustment's April 9th meeting. Sherry Cronin, executive director of the Downtown Westfield Corporation, said the approval is "a major coup" for Westfield.  The applicant, Poly C LLC and Serf Realty LLC, is seeking variance relief for its use of the property at 154 East Broad Street. The most significant request for relief deals with allowing the tenant to use the basement for certain non-storage uses. Section 12.04C of the Land Use Ordinance allows storage use in a non-residential basement. Urban Outfitters seeks …

I am a little long in the tooth for Urban Outfitters clothes & accessories (anyone over 25 is), BUT, I am thrilled that something is going to be fillng this space! It has been empty way too long, beginning to show some neglect and any tenant is an improvement over a vacancy - especially one that is going to be considerate of the existing architecture of the building. Glad the Board of Adjustment …   more ›

How About Bringing That Brew Pub to Westfield?

Sherry Cronin, executive director of the Downtown Westfield Corporation, discusses the possibility of craft beer coming to town.

On Jan. 26 Westfield Patch asked residents 'What Would You Put in Place of Talbots?' and 42 percent of those who responded voted for a brew pub. One week later, Patch queried 'What Would You Put in Place of Haven Savings?' and 50 percent of voters chose to put a brew pub in the vacant building if it were possible. When we took a look at international retailer Urban Outfitters possibly occupying the building at 154 E. Broad St., Patch reader Brendan Galligan commented: "I think this property would be great for a brew-pub. The high ceilings would be conducive to a spectacular brew sculpture (the stacks of copper fermentation tanks and boil kettles)." So we decided to see if it were possible to put a brew pub anywhere in town. Sherry Cronin, …

That is a giant leap if you ask me. What would be wrong with a nice, classy brew pub opening up in Westfield? It would be perfect for the town. Especially since craft beer is a growing industry in this country as people are more into quality and taste these days as opposed to Bud and Coors. www.craftbeer.com   more ›

Would You Put an Urban Outfitters Here?

The Westfield Board of Adjustment will hold a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 16 to hear and consider a variance request that would allow the national retailer to move into 154 E. Broad St.

This week instead of asking "What Would You Put Here?" we're taking a look at what might be coming to fill the void at the corner of Elm and East Broad Streets. Following a four-year vacancy, the building at 154 E. Broad St., formerly occupied by a bank, could find itself with a new tenant: Urban Outfitters. The international chain, whose closest shop is located in Montclair, is known for selling men's and women's apparel in addition to a wide selection of kitsch (think vintage lunchboxes and boxing nun dolls.) The retailer is seeking approval to convert the use of the vacant building to a retail use. The Board of Adjustment will hold a special meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16 in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Building to hear…
