As reported by a Racked reader and blog 78thand2nd, the Bebe store at 1127 Third Avenue and 66th Street has closed (sob). According to sources close to Racked, the space will soon be filled with another outpost of seemingly unstoppable yogawear company Lululemon Athletica.

According to 78thand2nd, lucky UWS and Soho residents will be getting shiny new Bebes soon; Upper East Side ladies, however, are getting hit with a double-whammy, as the same Racked reader writes that the Express store at 58th and Lex has closed. The perfect outfit for a night out at Marquee is slipping further and further from their manicured grasp!
