Sealfons, the largest store in the Grove, is moving out by the end of the year because of rising rents, the Asbury Park Press is reporting.
The 25,000-square-foot space will be divided between Brooks Bros., which already has a store at the Grove, and Anthropologie, whose intentions with regard to the Grove were reported here in June.
The closing means the end of the family-owned Sealfons department store chain, which grew to its peak of six stores in the mid-1990s but has been in paring mode in recent years, the Press reports.
