Went to New York few weeks back and how could I miss the actual B&H shop
Thanks for posting. We're always glad when folks enjoy a visit.
their second hand section is quite sad actually.
I always thought B&H was a standalone warehouse size shop?
The retail store runs the full block form 33rd to 34th Sts on 9th Ave in Manhattan. It's now 35,000 sq ft, but as I said will be double that when we're done. There's a warehouse below the store for store merchandise but our main warehouse and shipping facility is in Brooklyn.
The Used Dept is part of the remodel construction which will double our retail store size. When we're done (hopefully by Dec '07) the Used Dept will be quite impressive.
that place is so crowded...
On a busy Sunday afternoon, it can be, hence the expansion. On Monday morning though, it's rather peaceful.
B&H is a Jewish establishment.
No, it's not. It's a store -- retail and mail/phone orders and internet shopping. Our owner is Jewish and the store does close Saturdays and for other Jewish holidays, but we're an equal opportunity employer and with 1,000+ employees we have people from almost every nationality and background and are as diverse as NYC itself.
