Two More Scarsdale Retailers Close Their Doors

The count of empty storefronts in Scarsdale Village continues to rise. We just noticed that Mayfair Court, which rented a double storefront on Harwood Court has closed their doors. A note on the window thanks customers for “24 wonderful years in Scarsdale Village.” The store specialized in designer clothing for women and personal service.

On Scarsdale Avenue, the pottery painting studio is also gone. However, it appears that they elected to move to Central Avenue. Paint Your Own Pot can now be found in the Midway Shopping Center at 999 Central Park Avenue. For more information, go to paintyourownpot.com

It is sad to see so many dark storefronts in the village and on Central Avenue. Undoubtedly the uncertain economy and increasing competition from the internet have made it very difficult for local retailers to stay in business.

Hopefully, we’ll be reporting new openings, rather than more closings soon.
