The recent listing of retail space at 3530 N Southport Ave in Chicago’s Southport Corridor has sparked questions about the status of Claire’s, the well-known accessories retailer currently occupying that address. As of February 20, 2025, the 1,475-square-foot space is available for lease, according to LoopNet.
Claire’s established its presence at 3530 N Southport Ave in late 2021. The store has been a vibrant part of the community, offering a wide range of fashion accessories and ear-piercing services.
The current availability of the retail space suggests that Claire’s may be planning to relocate or close this location. However, without an official statement from Claire’s or the property management, the exact future of the store remains uncertain. Such transitions are common in dynamic retail environments like the Southport Corridor, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of urban commercial landscapes.
Residents and shoppers in the area are encouraged to stay tuned for official announcements regarding the future of this retail space and Claire’s presence in the neighborhood.
Update 3/18/25 – confirmed that Claire’s is closing on Southport.
