Garfield Farm Market To Close

Yet another store on 7th Avenue is about to be vacant, as Garfield Farm Market at 156 7th Avenue on the corner of Garfield is going out of business. A sign announcing the closure is posted on the awning outside, and FIPS, which first reported the news, notes that it’s because of a rent increase.

We’re definitely going to miss their flowers — it’s always been one of our go-to spots for inexpensive, and long-lasting, bouquets.

We recently took a look at all of the storefronts currently, and soon-to-be, available for rent along 7th Avenue and just off the main street. Including this new one, there are 14 between Flatbush Avenue and 9th Street, ranging in rent from $3,800 to $14,000 per month. There’s no listing yet for this spot, but we’d guess it will be toward the higher end — unless, that it, the landlord actually hopes to rent it sooner rather than later.
