Modernica is my store, so I'll tell you why I closed it. We are more and more focused on our wholesale business to hundreds of stores throughout the world like Design Within Reach. Our wholesale business has doubled in the last year and having a store in NY that needs constant micro-management doesnt make sense. Yeah I wanted to restaff the store, but sometimes a new staff can be worse than the original one. The lease was on it's way to expiring, so we decided to let the store wind down, not to mention $29,000 a month rent. I wish some of you bloggers had called me and told me what lousy service you got, I would have done something. So sorry about that. I should have come to NY more often than every 2 years.Our LA store service is great, and at least now if you live in NY and order something from us you won't have to pay NY sales tax. If there's anything you need, please email me at FrankN@Modernica.net
