Large LES American Apparel to Become More Massive
Friday, December 14, 2007, by Leslie Price

The rumors swirling about American Apparel's expansion into 199 Orchard are true. A tipster writes: "The LES American Apparel is expanding into the space that was a restaurant behind it. I walked by this evening, and saw that they had already knocked down the wall that divided the two spaces. I turned the corner onto Houston, and saw employees loading boxes into the store from an AA truck. I assume there was clothing in the boxes." More evidence: On PropertShark, the phone records for the storefront at 199 Orchard Street have been switched from Big John, the last tenant, to American Apparel.
