Dress Barn CEO David Jaffe Bags UES Extell Conversion for $8.7M

When denizens of the Upper East Side's more fashionable buildings step into their elevators, footsore from long days of shopping, it is not generally the handles of Dress Barn bags that dig into their sweating and pampered palms. Founded in Stamford, Connecticut in 1962 to meet the sartorial demands of a growing women's workforce, the big-box retailer now has some 3,900 locations, dealing in practical and affordable fashions for the professional woman, with some emphasis placed one customers who've grown somewhat wide of hip, if not necessarily long of tooth.
