Anthropologie is planning on opening their first Brooklyn location (North 3rd and Bedford) and Urban Outfitters is coming to North 6th next to American Apparel. From The Real Deal:

Anthropologie is working out the details of a 10,000-square-foot space at a 150,000-square-foot retail complex located at 242 Bedford Avenue between North Third and North Fourth Streets. The complex will be anchored by a Whole Foods, sources familiar with the property told Crain’s. The complex is also in leasing talks with Canadian retailer Joe Fresh, New York Sports Club, and Citibank. Meanwhile, Urban Outfitters has landed a space at nearby 102 North Sixth Street, between Berry and Wythe Streets. The store will be located next door to American Apparel, and it is believed that J. Crew is also shopping for space in the area.

Being that Urban Outfitters’ business model has been to bring Williamsburg fashion to the suburbs, beware an earthquake caused by a tearing in the fabric of the universe. Maybe they can sell cargo shorts and polo shirts to balance things out.
