Loehmann’s discount clothing store at 2027 Emmons Avenue closed for good on Wednesday, wrapping up its seven-week-long closeout sale.

We first announced the[ impending closure of Loehmann’s in early January](/loehmanns-on-emmons-avenue-set-to-close-putting-nearly-100-out-of-work/), after the retailer filed for bankruptcy and won a court decision permitting it to sell of inventory and holdings.

Thirty-nine stores in all are now closed, ending a nearly 100-year-long presence in the borough where it all began.

The Sheepshead Bay Loehmann’s opened its doors in the 1990s after a long and bitter battle between the property developer and locals who feared it was an inappropriate use of waterfront land. A [special zoning district ](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/zone/zh%5Fspecial%5Fpurp%5Fbk.shtml?ref=bklyner.com)was enacted for the Sheepshead Bay waterfront in the 1970s, reserving the land for waterfront- and tourist-related activities.
