Danice, an affordable women’s clothing chain, is closing its 48th Street location.

A Danice employee confirmed that the store, which is located at Plaza 48 at 34-56 48th St., will close. She said that the employees had been notified of the closure, but not of the closing date.

Danice, a family owned chain, was founded in New York City in 1934.

The store’s closure will likely coincide with the closing of bankrupt retailer Toys R Us’s location at 3540 48th St. at Plaza 48. Toys R Us is expected to close the location in the next few months, a toy store employee said today.

A Wholefoods, Fairway or Shoprite Supermarket would be great. Target in this spot instead of Ditmar’s is a great idea! Ample parking!

Toys R Us has been there since I was born. I think it would be a good location for Kmart or JCPenney.

Op-Ed | Four years after Hurricane Ida, Queens deserves real climate resilience

Sep. 2, 2025 By Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas

Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
