Brooks Brothers, America’s oldest apparel retailer, will open an outlet location at Empire Outlets in Staten Island, which is scheduled to open in Fall 2018.

The mall will feature over 100 designer outlet retailers, including H&M, Banana Republic, Nordstrom Rack, Gap Factory and Columbia Sporting Goods, along with a variety of eateries.

The 4,040-square-foot store will be the 200-year-old company’s first Staten Island location and is expected to carry a wide collection of tailored clothing, casual wear, outerwear and accessories for men, women and children.

“Brooks Brothers is ingrained in the very fabric of American retail and style,” said Joseph Ferrara, principal of BFC Partners, developer of Empire Outlets. “Bringing on a historic and peerless brand like Brooks Brothers is just another step toward making Empire Outlets one of New York City’s top shopping and dining destinations.”
