Jessie James to Close Hoboken Location

Jessie James, the women's clothing boutique at 503 Washington Street, will close its Hoboken location for good on Sunday, January 29.

The store has been open since 2006. According to one of the managers, who asked to remain nameless, Jessie James is closing its brick and mortar location in Hoboken to focus on its other location in the West Village in New York City, and to also grow its online business, which started last fall. The Hoboken location predates the one in New York by two years.

“The owner was just looking to consolidate,” the manager said. “We want to focus our energy on one brick and mortar and our online business. We really think it's at a place where we can grow.”

The Hoboken Jessie James has seven employees. The manager said some will transfer within the company, while a few who are students and work part-time will either focus just on school or are looking for similar jobs with other stores.

According to the manager, the store will have its normal seasonal sale through Sunday with discounts on almost all new and existing merchandise, plus another 25% off storewide in a closing sale. The manager also said the store is looking to sell its fixtures and will take offers if anyone is interested.

Coming soon: two gyms and an Indian restuarant look to open.
