McNally Jackson's original, flagship store in New York City has completed its move "six blocks west to 134 Prince St." and is now open. "Farewell Nolita! Hello SoHo!" the bookstore declared in an e-mail to customers.
Owner Sarah McNally opened the Prince Street store in 2004 as McNally Robinson, part of the Canadian chain that her parents founded. In 2008, the store became independent and was renamed McNally Jackson. In 2019, McNally came close to moving the store after a substantial rent increase.
Over the years, McNally Jackson has added branches in Rockefeller Center, the Seaport, Williamsburg, and downtown Brooklyn. It also has a shop at LaGuardia Airport with Hudson Group, as well as two Goods for the Study writing and stationery stores in the West Village and Nolita, and McNally Jackson at the Shed (545 W. 30th St.), which features books related to the Shed's arts programming.
