While many local businesses are slowly trying to open with some restrictions, a long-standing retail business in Larchmont will soon close.
Judy Graham announced on Instagram that Pink on Palmer, a constant retail environment on a prominent corner in Larchmont Village for nearly 20 years, will close at the end of June.
“Despite a challenging economy and a changing retail environment, I have worked very hard to stabilize and maintain my business through the last decade. However, with the increase of online shopping, compounded by nearly three months of mandated closure, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you Pink on Palmer will be closing its doors at the end of this month,” she writes.
Graham writes that she opened nearly 20 years ago in an “entirely different shopping atmosphere. Today, having an online presence is so important and as I am nearly 70 years old, I have no interest in boxing up orders and shipping.”
Their store in Rye will remain open. Beginning Tuesday, they will be selling merchandise at 50% off.
We will miss Pink on Palmer with all its charm of monthly and beautifully manicured windows representing holidays and seasons. Even if you didn’t go in the store, the Pink on Palmer’s presence lit up the town and corner with elegance.
Unfortunately now we will have one more empty store front to add to the dying businesses in Larchmont.
Rye is flourishing. What is Larchmont doing wrong here?
Yes, Mrs. Graham brought the corner to life with wit and color! You will be sadly missed, but heartfelt thanks for all the years of lifting our spirits and energy!
So very sad to hear this news! Pink on Palmer was one of my favorite shops…you will be sorely missed.
Let’s have a wonderful lunch at turquoise. We can talk about the last 20 years. Howard. hfmcompanyinc@aol.com ♥️
Another victim sacrificed to Bezos.
So sorry to hear this sad news. Pink on Palmer is one of the highlights in Larchmont. I always loved their display window as the season change. :( You’ll be terribly missed!
