The pandemic has caused another business casualty in Richmond.
Jackson & James Men’s Clothing Store in Scott’s Addition announced Wednesday that it plans to permanently close its storefront at 3200 Rockbridge St. in late February. The 1,800-square-foot store opened in 2017 on the ground floor of the $33 million redevelopment of the former Symbol Mattress factory.
Jackson & James co-owner Mike Anderson said the disruptions to the economy and everyday life dealt by the coronavirus pandemic had made it untenable to continue.

Belleville Street, largely left untouched during the early days of the Scott’s Addition real estate boom, continues to now be one of the neighborhood’s busiest strips for new development.
The latest sign of its momentum will soon take shape at 1508 Belleville St., where Thalhimer Realty Partners and property owner John Freeland are planning a six-story, 126-unit apartment building.
Last week TRP and Freeland filed an application for a special use permit, something TRP Principal Jason Guillot said they need in order to build six stories high. The property’s current B-7 zoning allows for up to five stories.
