Clothing retailer Tommy Hilfiger is rumored to be shopping for retail
space in Union Square and may be considering a “concept store” in the
area. He is said to have looked at the former Circuit City space and at
the Virgin Megastore’s soon-to-be-vacant space on Union Square South.
Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Nordstrom have also reportedly looked at the
storefronts, which are controlled by the Related Companies and are
being marketed by Winick Realty Group. Filene’s Basement’s bankruptcy
filing could leave another vacant store in the area. [more]
