First Billboard reported that the Virgin Megastore in Times Square was going to be replaced by a Forever 21. Then we read in Reuters that the replacement store would actually be Century 21. The Times settles the debate: It's not Century, it's Forever. And it's going to be the biggest Forever 21 the land has ever seen: "The Times Square space, on the east side of Broadway near 46th Street, will be closed for at least a year before it reopens as Forever 21’s largest location. It will be combined with some adjoining space to create a 90,000-square-foot store that will be triple the size of any of Forever 21’s three current stores in Manhattan, said Lawrence Meyer, a senior vice president of Forever 21."
