CloseOut Kings
If you haven’t finished your holiday shopping, you may want to check out this signless boutique. It’s called CloseOut Kings, located at 473-477 Marcus Garvey Blvd. (between Decatur & Fulton Streets).
CloseOut Kings officially opened Black Friday last year. Step through their bright red door and you’ll walk into space that feels like an urban chic or European boutique store. The store is stuffed with recognized name brand treasures, if you’re willing to take a few minutes to sort and shift. Among some of the items spotted – Ralph Lauren ladies sweaters, Michael Korrs bedsheets, a line of Guess handbags, Tommy Hilfiger ties and men’s underwear, Anne Klein scarves, and suits by Larry Levine. They also have a line of evening dresses, shoes and a variety of hats for men and women. One tip to note is their business hours aren’t consistent. If you can catch them while they’re open, this may be your next go-to shop for brand names at discount prices.

Inconsistent business hours? **eyeroll** Isn’t having consistent hours rule #1 in business? You know, this place is really nice looking on the inside. It looks like the owners really put a lot of care in arranging/presenting the merch, but the one thing they (and all business owners) need to do is get consistent business hours and post those hours in the window. People who live nearby may be willing to walk by the store to see if it is open, but those who live far away may not be willing to make a special trip to see if they decided to open for the day.
And another thing–get a sign or at least paint the name of the joint in the window. Or better yet, get an awning!

[...] Over the break, the Bed-Stuy blog posted about a designer-discount store on Marcus Garvey between Decatur and Fulton that sounds worth checking out—if you can get there when it’s open. The shop, which opened on Black Friday 2008, is called CloseOut Kings, and according to Bed-Stuy blog, it “feels like an urban chic or European boutique store” and is “stuffed with recognized name brand treasures, if you’re willing to take a few minutes to sort and shift.” BSB saw some Ralph Lauren ladies’ sweaters, Michael Kors sheets and other goodies. But beware: “One tip to note is their business hours aren’t consistent,” the blog warns. “If you can catch them while they’re open, this may be your next go-to shop for brand names at discount prices.” Has anyone else checked this place out? Read the whole story here. [...]

I visted the closeout kings and couldn’t find a good TH tees. However the collection was extraordinary. Thanks for this review.
