The changing face of retail: Park Heights Stationers spot to become Five Guys burger franchise
Atlantic Yards Report
Last summer, Park Heights Stationers at Flatbush Avenue and Park Place closed after 25 years, "due to the rising cost of operation," as its landlords apparently sought to get much higher rent from a retail space located in an affluent community near a subway station (B/Q).
Now, reports Patch, the new tenant will be one in the rapidly growing Five Guys burger chain.
Presumably Five Guys considers neighborhood residents its prime clientele, but I wouldn't bet against promotions aimed at arena-goers.
