Century 21 Store Returns to NYC After Pandemic Closure and Bankruptcy

A retailer that has come to represent the resilience of New York City is making a comeback.

Century 21 will be returning to its flagship location in downtown Manhattan in spring 2023 and is teaming up with retail operator Legends to again showcase a selection of off-price luxury goods. The store will occupy four floors of 22 Cortlandt St. and will offer men’s, women’s and children’s designer apparel, footwear, outerwear, handbags, accessories and fragrances.

Legends, which operates retail and concessions for venues including Yankee Stadium, SoFi Stadium and the World Trade Center’s One World Observatory, will also be creating an e-commerce experience for the company.

“Century 21 is, and always will be, a New York City brand,” Raymond Gindi, Century 21’s co-chief executive officer, said in a statement Tuesday. “In our 60-year history we have only closed our doors twice, once after the devastation of 9/11 and then again during the Covid-19 pandemic. But like the true New Yorkers we are, we have persevered. We could not be more excited to bring Century 21 back home.”

The family-owned department-store chain got its start in the bedroom community of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, in 1961, offering shoppers designer goods at affordable prices. At the start of 2020, it had 13 locations that spanned the Eastern Seaboard from New York to Florida. But by September of that year, the company was forced to close up shop and file for bankruptcy after insurers refused to pay $175 million in claims stemming from pandemic closures, Gindi said at the time.

AdTonos has opened a U.S. office and named a former iHeart Media exec to grow its business.

The company named Tony Moustakelis, former director of business development for IHM, as a business development director (U.S.).

AdTonos is a programmatic ad platform, owned by Radio Net Media out of the U.K. Its first U.S. office is in One World Trade Center in Manhattan.

Radio Net Media describes itself as “a technology-driven business focusing on changing the idea of modern online radio experience to social, collaborative, interactive and dynamic.”

AdTonos serves online radio, replacing on-air commercial break content with targeted ads, “changing spray-and-pray ATL ads into pay-per-play performance marketing.”

The company says it has reached 5 billion playouts and 272 million unique listeners globally. Moustakelis’ job will be to expand its client base and build awareness of its ad tech solutions in the U.S. market. The announcement was made by Paul Smith, senior vice president of sales.
