Overview

The first Romantic Depot store was opened in West Nyack NY in August 2000. Other stores located in Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens and Yonkers.[1][2]

In 2016 the brand signed Cardi B to her first endorsement deal. The ad campaign was featured on radio and cable TV and Billboard took note. This cable TV commercial was recognized as the most famous cable TV commercial in the history of NYC. This was also noted by the NY Post in a feature article about "Cardi B's meteoric rise from stripper to superstar" in April 2018.[3][4]

In February 2019, a man attacked and destroyed Obama's mannequin placed at Romantic Depot's Manhattan shop.[5]

On February 10, 2019, rapper Tekashi69 appeared in an anti-violence against women commercial for Romantic Depot. The brand pulled the spots after it was alleged 6ix9ine was committing violence against his baby's mother, Sara Molina.[6][7]
