A longtime Park Slope toy store and kids' hair salon is cutting out its brick-and-mortar business.
LuLu Cuts & Toys on Fifth Avenue closed this week in what owner Brigitte Prat called a "bittersweet" decision.
Prat, who opened the store named after her daughter in 2001, said the pandemic had magnified challenges facing small businesses such as her own: from competition with Amazon to a small, but growing number of customers who mistreat retail workers over issues such as masks.
