Every day, we hear about another store closing. Today it's Brooks Brothers' ten-year-old Fifth Avenue outpost. A Racked tipster writes, "In a letter dated Jan 5th and sent to customers, Brooks Brothers indicated that they are relocating their staff and associates from the 5th Ave (and 53rd) store to their flagship location on Madison Avenue as of January 26th 2009."
