Huge Thank You to Tanya Maile, who was at Britex last week and commented below.
Seems there are negotiations going on. This article, dated 5 days ago, gives more specifics.
Perhaps we really don’t know what’s actually happening, and will just need to watch the news… and the Britex web site. . . .
My apologies for not searching multiple google pages for more recent articles.
Again, a huge Thank You to Lizzie of The Vintage Traveler for alerting us to the situation.
Here’s an additional article I located. Between the 2 there are great photos of the store.
I’ve been to Britex a few times, whilst living in the Bay Area, and was always overwhelmed. But I never failed to lust after what I couldn’t afford (Liberty cottons and English wools) and found exactly what I needed.
If you’ve got an independent fabric store in your area of the U.S., puh-lease let them know how much you appreciate their existence.
Sales have started online at Britex.
Know what you mean! I never drove up (took BART), so parking wasn’t an issue.

Yeah, I think Britex isn’t very happy about the initial article. But I would have liked if they moved out of Union Square.

THANK YOU, Tanya! Really appreciate your update as this wasn’t coming up in my initial searches earlier.

These articles are apparently false. I was told by the employees several times at britex last week that they aren’t planning to move any time soon. Bad reporting apparently.
