Larrimor’s, a family-owned clothing store that has served generations of Pittsburghers, will close its Downtown Pittsburgh location for good at the end of the year after 87 years in business.
The closure comes after nearly three generations Downtown, according to a community announcement. The store has built a long presence in the heart of Pittsburgh and became known for personal service to its customers.
Before shutting its doors, Larrimor’s will hold a going-out-of-business sale beginning at 9 a.m. Nov. 4. Merchandise throughout the store will be discounted from 20% to 75% off.
The sale gives longtime customers an opportunity to shop at Larrimor’s before the business closes at the end of the year.
Downtown leader reacts to Larrimor’s closure
Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership President and
CEO Jeremy Waldrup described the closure as a “huge loss.”
Waldrup said local businesses such as Larrimor’s are the backbone of Downtown and thanked the clothing store for nearly three generations of commitment to the community.
Larrimor’s departure will mark the end of an 87-year run for the family-owned retailer and remove a longtime business from Pittsburgh’s Downtown shopping landscape.
The store will remain open as it moves toward its year-end closure, with the going-out-of-business sale beginning at 9 a.m. Nov. 4. Discounts will range from 20% to 75% off storewide, giving customers a final opportunity to shop at the longtime Downtown retailer before it closes permanently.
