Brooklyn Denim Co., a staple of Williamsburg’s indie spirit, is closing its Wythe Ave shop after 17 years. This isn’t just another store shuttering—it’s a sign of how rising rents, changing shopping habits, and the flood of chain stores are reshaping the neighborhood’s vibe. The good news: their jeans will live on online, and the beloved repair service is sticking around under a new name. But it’s hard not to feel like a piece of old Williamsburg is fading. How do you feel about the changes in local shopping and neighborhood character? #Business #LocalBusiness #Williamsburg
