The retailer closed its South Street Seaport location Friday, two days after shuttering its Hollister Epic store in SoHo.
In a letter to Mr. Bloomberg, Abercrombie Chairman and CEO Michael S. Jeffries asked for "leadership and guidance" on how best to address the problem of "the growing infestation of banker's in New York City."
"We made the decision to act with caution by closing both stores to assure we have rid them of the problem. There is a real revenue loss involved in our decision but we felt closing was in the best interest of our customers and associates," the letter said.
Citing the example of AIG, City officials said there was little they could do. "It is the responsibility of companies to handle bankers on their own," said a spokeswoman for the Department of Financial Health and Mental Hygiene.
