Anthropologie, located at 470 Bloomfield Avenue, and Urban Outfitters, located at 20 S Park Street, are the other two stores and have been operating in Montclair for over 15 years. Free People’s new Montclair location will be across the street from Anthropologie at 469 Bloomfield Avenue. The last long-standing business in this location was Hampton House, a furniture store that closed in 2017. Since then, there have not been any long-lasting stores to occupy the space, except for Body Fit Training (BFT) located in the space above.
