There’s a liquidation sale happening at Robcyns (3660 King Street) at the Bradlee Shopping Center.

Merchandise is currently being sold at half-price.

The store reportedly opened in 1963, and sells women’s and children’s dancewear, shoes and tchotchkes. It will close for the last time on Saturday, April 27.

The store made the news last year after a car smashed through the front window.

Store staff told ALXnow that the business couldn’t recover after the pandemic and that customers are finding their needs on Amazon.
