Daffy's Inc., a staple of the New York shopping scene for 51 years, is closing its doors. The Secaucus, N.J.-based discount retailer, which had been rumored to be in financial turmoil, said Monday that all its stores will be shuttering over the next few months, as part of a company liquidation.
In a statement, Daffy's said it "deeply regrets that this action was necessary due to the impact on its business of the uncertain economy and weak consumer spending and a lack of viable financial and business alternatives."
The discounter employs 1,300 people and operates a total of 19 locations, all of them in the New York metro area, with the exception of one in Philadelphia. Eight of them, including a 17,000-square-foot Times Square flagship that opened only last year, are in Manhattan.

DC is sucking the nation dry.
Thanks GlockThe Vote.
Governmental Providence.
Please point out any comment I've ever made...that is "more liberal than the Democrats".
You won't, and you can't.
You equate "waiting for gas" to be worse than what's going on now???
Like I said....you amaze me.
And you think Obama isn't the worst POTUS ever too!!??
“And guess who is going to move into all that new vacant space?”
Across the river in NJ, that would be tattoo parlors, unlicensed barbershops, massage parlors, pawn shops, check cashing places, mega-laundromats, and travel agencies that also process immigration papers and international money transfers.
The “new normal” as Americans fade from the scene and are replaced by transient migrant workers...
Well you are a Baby Boomer so you are sitting pretty....The rest of us are working to pay for your generation.
From day one you have been touting how wonderful Romney is....you obviously love him and his values. The problem is you are sticking the jerk on the rest of us. There is NO WAY you are conservative with the Romney love you show. You won’t even vote for a conservative....That is low and disgusting!!!! And before you say “I never said I wouldn’t vote for a conservative.” BS!!! You are refusing to vote for a conservative on 6 November....That is the point I am trying to make. You are a liberal and have absolutely ZERO principles!!!! That point I made if 100 percent perfect and accurate. You cannot dispute one word of what I wrote.
Obama: “Yes I did”!
You're a little premature with that. Most boomers are still working, putting their kids through school, and watching their 401-ks evaporate.
Oh I know. I was directing that directly to him. He is so liberal that it is insane.
Four months ago, I was one of those “will not vote for Romney” types, hoping my intransigence would wake up the RINO GOP. That was then, this is now.
I still see Romney as a stall for time tactic because I don’t think his record is one of a small government conservative, but that of a RINO pragmatic milktoast.
But that doesn’t matter, because stopping BO’s mad dash towards destruction is more important than electing an ideological conservative.
FUBO is right.
Obama says they didn’t build the business on their own. One thing is for sure. They didn’t go bankrupt on their own. The government gave them a lot of help in going belly up.
Yup.
Discount retailer?
Isn't this the area that prevented WalMart from entering?
I wonder if Daffy's was paying SEIU level wages and benefits?
In my neighborhood, "We Buy Gold!" and internet (gambling) cafes have taken over many of the vacant strip mall locations.
The new Obama Economy.
My neighborhood has changed drastically for the worse in the last 4 years. We used to be a haven for Irish construction workers now we have ghetto street thugs on the corners w pants around ankles etc.
"NO" Business, as usual in the Obamanation.
It's sad (and telling) when even kids don't take the President seriously.
