Overhaul Underway At 99 Cent Century Storefront

Workers have been gutting the storefront at 1506 Sheepshead Bay Road for more than a week, leaving the shell of the former 99 Cent Century that shuttered back in January.

We still have no idea what’s going in there, but contractors have installed a new door and glass front, recessed about 20 feet from the actual front of the building.

That suggests it could be Sheepshead Bay Road’s fifth-or-so fruit and vegetable market. But, let’s be honest, we’re just guessing here. What other types of businesses make do with a recessed store front?
