Niketown on 57th Ave. became the latest New York City store to be infested with bedbugs. Store windows on Friday were covered with brown paper with the notice “temporarily closed until further notice.”
A statement from Nike said the company had “proactively closed Niketown” after finding evidence of bedbugs.
“Our primary concern is the well being of our consumers and sales associates,” the statement said. “We are taking all proper steps to eradicate the problem and we expect the store to reopen shortly.”
Niketown joins Hollister, Abercombie & Fitch and Victoria's Secret that have seen stores in Manhattan temporarily closed due to bedbugs.
