Re: Stores Closing

wow. i liked piercing pagoda

Re: Stores Closing

Lowes is an odd one-they just opened a new location in Bethpage...

ETA that I have friends at J Jill, who is currently owned by Talbots-I think they are looking to sell J Jill, which will result in some closures, but not all, was my understanding...it would upset me greatly..most, if not all, of my clothing is from there!

I wonder if that is combined between AT proper and AT Loft.

Re: Stores Closing

A high end shopping center opened near me two weeks ago - there's a Talbot's in there - so I can't imagine they're closing all their stores...

According to Snopes, this is partially, true:

I think that's an old e-mail.

Re: Stores Closing

I recently heard that Macys in Manhasset will be closing. Does anyone know if it is true?

Re: Stores Closing

I dont think piercing pagoda is going anywhere lol.. I worked there for almost 6 years and am best friends with the manager of one. Im assuming she would be aware

Re: Stores Closing

Some of those have already been closing all their stores (sharper image for sure, that's been going on for over a year....) but I think some of those are maybe not so true...
