Menswear store Oslo’s is the latest retailer on the hill to shut its doors, closing up shop quietly over this past weekend.
The store, located at 1519 Queen Anne Ave N, already had paper in the windows when I swung by this morning. On Sunday Oslo’s owners posted the following message on the store’s Facebook page:
OSLO’s A Men’s Store has closed. Your ongoing support and patronage enriched our lives over the past 5 years.
The owners also published this video, a montage of memories from the store and the neighborhood over the last five years, inviting a flood of responses from neighbors and patrons who are sad to see the retailer go.
“I’m particularly saddened by Oslo’s because it had *such* great clothes; the staff was 100% super; John was a great neighborhood supporter with charity fund-raisers, silent auction items for schools, and on and on,” patron Bryan Rutberg wrote in to Queen Anne View.
Oslo’s will be holding a liquidation sale this Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 beginning at 10 a.m. The store plans to sell everything, including its remaining inventory and fixtures and furniture from the store. Check the Oslo’s Facebook page for more information.
