| 20 defunct mall stores we miss the most - PennLive.com Posted: 24 Jun 2019 05:16 AM PDT Remember the days of spending hours and hours at the mall? Maybe you were just hanging out with friends or getting all your shopping done before grabbing a bite to eat all in the same place. Just as more and more malls have become dead or dying, so too have the stores that made up your favorite shopping centers. Despite their popularity in the 1980s and '90s, many of the stores that were once must-visits on each trip to the mall have now gone bankrupt or shifted all their sales to online only. Whether you were a mall rat back in the day or just a casual shopper, this list of now defunct mall stores will hit you with a dose of nostalgia and have you smelling Sbarro pizza and Auntie Anne's pretzels. Which former mall stores do you miss the most?  Imaginarium stores closed in 2003. Imaginarium Started appearing in malls in the '80s and offered "smart" toys for kids.

Fashion Bug Known for its budget-friendly clothes that they tried to keep trendy. it closed all of its stores in 2012.

Delia's It was once the place to go for trendy clothing for teenage and college-aged girls. The company declared bankruptcy in 2014, closing all its stores. However, it reopened in 2015 as an online-only retailer.  |

Amidst the hubbub was an unmistakable sense of sadness and finality — the end of a Wisconsin-based retail chain that had once been a key shopping destination in many communities and, for many employees, was more than a job. "It feels like a bad dream you just can't wake up from," said Connie Burnet, who had worked at the Fond du Lac Shopko for 20 years. "Today, it will all be over." Fifty-seven years after pharmacist James Ruben and a group of investors opened a $1 million department store on Green Bay's Military Avenue, the bankrupt company's 11 remaining Wisconsin stores locked up for the last time Sunday evening. Burnet likened the closure to a "death in the family." In Fond du Lac, the store's last day began under overcast skies, with shoppers forming lines more than a half an hour before opening, the only brightness coming from the yellow signs that read "last day." Customers came slow at first, taking carts and leaning against them while they waited. As the clock edged closer to the final opening of the doors at 9 a.m., however, cars came in packs and lines stretched past both store entrances in a scene that reminded shoppers of Black Friday. RELATED: Shopko's last day: Shoppers scour stores for final deals RELATED: Shopko employees press for severance pay after bankruptcy plan approved RELATED: Shopko Optical sale done; email set up for info on new owners' plan to relocate 80 stores RELATED: Shopko timeline of notable events, from 1961-2019 When the doors opened, more than 30 customers rushed into the store. Almost immediately, Burant found the decorations she was seeking, while others pushed down aisles, picking up clothing, dishware, blankets and whatever was left. The scene was repeated at each of the company's remaining stores. "I'm surprised by the sheer chaos," Melissa Eades said, as her daughter ran around the Wausau store with a new hair bow to take home. A long declineThe Ashwaubenon-based company declared bankruptcy and began store closures and liquidation sales earlier this year after years of financial trouble. Shopko had found itself beset on all sides by competitors just as shopper expectations began to evolve. It proved unable to keep up. Strategies to turn the company around had floundered even as its private equity owner, Sun Capital Partners, continued to collect dividends and consulting. And so the company sought bankruptcy protection from creditors on Jan. 16, declaring it had less than $1 billion in assets and more than $1 billion in debt. There was originally hope, though: Shopko executives laid out a plan to close unprofitable stores, exit the pharmacy business and find a buyer to keep the retailer going. When no buyer emerged, Shopko announced in March it would close all of its stores, sell its optical business and go out of business, putting about 15,000 employees out of work. In her sadness, Burnet felt anger, as well, towards Sun Capital. "They did a lot of damage for a lot of good working people," she said. Wisconsin Rapids store manager Curt Brozik said he did everything he could to ease the sadness and boost the morale of his employees. They took a group photo in front of the store Sunday morning, memorializing the family feel that had been cultivated over the decades. "Shopko is not a building, it's the people," Brozik said. "Shopko will never die as long as these people are around. We will always be family." Brozik said he tried to make a bad situation as tolerable as possible for that family for the last few months. Managers worked with other businesses in the area to try to find jobs for Shopko employees once the store closed. Many of those businesses were willing to hold off on training their new employees until after the store closed. Empty shelves and final markdownsEric Rathsack worked at seven different Shopko locations over the last 32 years, working his way up to manager of the Oshkosh store. On Sunday he was running around the store trying to help customers and staff. "I'm just overall sad," Rathsack said. "I going to miss the customers. I'm going to miss the teammates." Two weeks ago the shelves in Oshkosh, like other Shopko stores, had been completely stocked with merchandise, Rathsack said. On Sunday, many of the shelves and aisles were nearly bare but for leftover flyers advertising 90% off. Other shelves were stocked with a mishmash of items. Yellow tape cordoned off some areas of the store, creating a maze-like feel. In Fond du Lac, only a few chairs, a desk and a coffee table remained in the furniture department. In some places, discarded items sat on the floor while employees tried to clean and organize as best they could. Appleton's Shopko was the last location standing in the Fox Cities, closing after sister branches in Kimberly, Neenah and Menasha were already gone. The store was the 15th to open and operated for just a few years shy of half a century. "We were No. 1 in total volume when you combine optical, pharmacy and the main store," said store manager Mark Grasmick. By early afternoon Sunday, shoppers found little left to buy. Random items were consolidated at the front of the store — 15-cent plastic Easter pails, eggs and grass; size 5XL floral shorts; $2.49 satchel handbags; makeup in dark colors like java and mocha, Fourth of July placemats and 2019 calendars for 40 cents. The Green Bay area previously lost stores in De Pere, Howard, Bellevue and on Green Bay's west side in the last few months. The last three stores, in the Bay Park Square and East Town malls and in Suamico, closed Sunday. At the East Town Mall store in Green Bay, store fixtures sold for $1 each and the last boxes of cosmetics, seasonal holiday merchandise, Green Bay Packers T-shirts and Shopko store office supplies went up for sale. Even rolls of red and yellow "clearance" stickers could be bought for 90 percent off. The Bay Park Square location didn't even make it to closing. Sheldon Svenson of Pulaski was its last customer. He had arranged with Gordon Brothers, Shopko's store liquidator, to buy everything left in the store, leaving it empty before 3 p.m. His haul included bags of Easter basket grass, Easter eggs, electronics, some clothes and store fixtures, all of which he plans to sell through an online store. "They did a very good job selling most of the inventory," Svenson said. "A lot of the employees were probably sad to see it go. A lot would have liked to stay rather than have to find new jobs." In Wausau, some shoppers explored the back of the store, passing entirely deserted sections: home decor, sporting goods, luggage, school and office, pet supplies. Back in the buzzing clothing sections, the brown-red carpet was littered with the leftovers of shoppers on the trail of a good bargain. Hangers, sale tags, flakes of trash and even some orange slime speckled the ground. Checkout lines wound around the dollar sections where people continued to browse, hearing whispers from others who had already been in line for an hour and a half. The empty shelves and dollar deals had become a familiar sight for Kelly Dehnel, who had visited the Wausau store five times since the liquidation sale began. On Sunday she filled her cart with a $10 Dutch oven, $1 T-shirts, rugs, bedding, sandals and more. Dehnel, who owns a dairy farm off County K northwest of Wausau, said the $1 T-shirts will be great to throw on and wear around the farm. She used to shop Shopko regularly. Now that it's closing, it's "just another hole in Wausau," she said. 'It's crazy it's gone'Jerrae DeLap of Fond du Lac had been a Shopko customer since the Fond du Lac store opened in the 1980s. It was where she purchased clothing for her children. After her children were grown, she returned for its products and garden center and came to know employees by name. Standing near some of the last racks of clothing, she said she was going to miss the store — its closure took another shopping option from a city that has lost too many retailers in recent years. She now will turn to Target or out-of-town and online shopping to fill the void. "I'm watching Fond du Lac lose these wonderful stores, and it's making me very sad. It's scary to find out all these stores are closing," she said. As dozens of people walked the carpeted and tiled floor of Shopko at noon Sunday in Wisconsin Rapids, they shopped quietly as the sounds of cart and clothing rack wheels filled the otherwise quiet store. Soft music echoed in the back of the store behind the caution tape that noted there was nothing left for customers beyond its barrier. A vacuum cleaner hummed in the back, and the self-checkouts' computerized voices reminded the last-day customers to take their bags and receipts before they left. A certain finality hovered in the air. Mellissa Shilts, 28, said she and her family travel a lot to shop, so losing Shopko won't hurt her a lot, but she wants to see something happen quickly with the soon-to-be-empty building. "It's crazy it's gone," Shilts said, and she hopes the building will be filled again soon. Melissa Salm just wanted to do something nice for the employees at her neighborhood Shopko. She made her fourth visit of the weekend to the East Town Mall in Green Bay Sunday afternoon not to shop, but to deliver cookies, bottled water and McDonald's gift cards for the employees. "They've been working their butts (Saturday and Sunday)," Salm said. "It's really sad. It's the end of an era." Those who were working at the Appleton store on Sunday said they were there because they wanted to stay to the end. Employee Pam Bartell, who wore a shirt that read "Shopko Strong until the very end," helped close Menasha, then Kimberly and now Appleton. Her eyes grew red and teary when talking about her employer for 40 years. "I feel there's nothing I can do to be able to keep the store open," she said. "It's like a death. You have to mourn it, when you lose a job you absolutely love." Bankruptcy case continuesSunday was Shopko's last day in business, but there are still some significant issues left to watch as the bankruptcy case continues in federal court in Nebraska.

| Molly’s Cupcakes to Open New Shop in Fulton Market - Eater Chicago Posted: 24 Jun 2019 10:15 AM PDT Popular confectioner Molly's Cupcakes is slated to open a fresh location in Fulton Market, its fourth in the Chicago area, next to the the Morgan "L" station. The cupcake shop will open at 177 N. Morgan Street in mid-July, a representative confirmed, though there's no official opening date. The location is right beside fellow dessert spot Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken, which opened in 2017. Molly's is best known for its vast and varied cupcake menu, which offers classic options such as vanilla and red velvet, as well as center-filled cupcakes like the "Peach Cobbler" with vanilla cake, cinnamon peach puree, brown sugar streusel, whipped cream, and sliced peach. A full-service spot for customers with a sweet tooth, the shop also offers cookies, cheesecake, pies, and ice cream. Diners can doctor up their treats at the "Sprinkle Station." :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/16500805/Image_from_iOS__1_.jpg) There's no word yet whether or not the Fulton Market spot will offer cocktails, an option available to customers at the Streeterville location, or whether the shop will contain the same playful schoolyard park swings seen in other Molly's Cupcakes. As in all Molly's shops, all items will be baked on site. The Morgan Street building formerly housed a Taylor Gourmet outpost, which closed last year, and was once slated for a FireFin Poke Shop before plans fell through in 2017. Founder and native Iowan John Nicolaides named the business in honor of his third-grade teacher "Miss Molly," who shared her homemade cupcakes with her students. To honor Molly, a portion of proceeds go to directly to community schools. Molly's currently operates in Streeterville, Lincoln Park, and Naperville, as well as locations in New York, Iowa, and Ohio. Stay tuned for more details on the newest location in Fulton Market.  |
| Trophy shop to leave downtown - Rocky Mount Telegram Posted: 24 Jun 2019 01:24 AM PDT After approximately 37 years in downtown Rocky Mount, most of them in the same location, a business is moving to the Westridge shopping center on the northwest side of the city. Speight's Trophy Shop will be shifting from 122 N.W. Main St. to 3667 Sunset Ave., hopefully in the second week of July, said Jeffrey Speight, who is a partner in the faith-based family business. Speight's is going to be in a space left of the Lilly & Lane Boutique. Jeffrey Speight, 52, said he, his father, Roscoe Speight, 86, and his mother, Peggy Speight, 81, have been debating the subject of a move for a while. "We've actually started getting into some new products that are going over really well," Jeffrey Speight said. "And I've added a machine and probably am going to have to add another machine — and as you can tell, it's kind of tight in here. "So, we really need more room." Speight's Trophy Shop has been in business since 1982, and the business was across the railroad tracks at 121 S.E. Main St. before eventually shifting to 122 N.W. Main. Jeffrey Speight said the future space at Westridge is going to be approximately 2,300 square feet compared to approximately 800 square feet at the downtown location. And when Jeffrey Speight speaks of new products, he is referring to Speight's having expanded from specializing in plaques and trophies into selling gift items such as personalized cups. He said he got the idea to start selling the cups after seeing such items in the summer of 2018 at a show in Charlotte. At the same time, he made clear the emphasis of the business is going to be the same. "We're sticking with the trophies and plaques," he said. "That's our bread and butter." Roscoe Speight said the decision to relocate was not really a difficult one. "Of course, you hate to leave something that has been good to you," the father said. "But when you get pushed for room and space and get new products, it's time to look towards the future." One of the family members working at Speight's is Tammy Hodges, 47, who has been with the business for approximately a little more than a year. "I've always known what Jeff and Uncle Roscoe and Aunt Peggy have done here — and have always been interested in it," Hodges said. Hodges said she is elated about the future location and Speight's being able to expand. Speight's makes the third downtown business to either have pulled out of — or have confirmed plans to pull out of — the heart of Rocky Mount. Earlier this spring, Muttley Crew, a specialty store for dogs, relocated from a suite in the Station Square complex along Nash Street to Westridge. Tosha Aldridge, co-owner of Muttley Crew, has said her decision was somewhat a case of both downtown not progressing as she would like and the general condition of dilapidated or abandoned areas downtown. And earlier this spring, Cindy Coker, co-owner of Towel Town, a home accessories and gifts business and lamp repair shop at 248 S.W. Main St., confirmed she had secured a buyer for the store's building. Coker said she needs a location with smaller space, but she also has said the lack of traffic downtown was part of the reason for deciding to sell the building. Jeffrey Speight made clear the numerous vacant storefronts in the central business district was not a factor in his and his family's decision to move Speight's. He said he and the family members are going to miss being a few minutes away from Central Cafe, which has long remained a popular eatery. "Downtown has been good to us," he said. "It has nothing to do with anything about the current location. It's mainly about the room – and change can always be good." Regarding the future of the downtown location, Jeffrey Speight said, in time, the space is going to be rented out. "We've actually been approached by a couple of individuals," he said. "I don't have a time frame on it because I don't want to be pushed to have to get out and have to be out at a certain time." Speight's has a website at www.speightsnc.com and also has a Facebook page.  |
| 'Fashion is for everyone,' says Las Vegas designer - Las Vegas Sun Posted: 24 Jun 2019 02:06 AM PDT Rene' Tyler Plus Sizes 12 & Above is a small, boutique operation of just four employees, but it is becoming a major name in fashion. The designs of Angela Rene' have been featured on the AMC series "Dietland," starring Julianna Margulies and Joy Nash, and have been seen on local Emmy-winning anchor Monica Jackson, "Orange Is The New Black" actress Laverne Cox, singers Marsha Ambrosius and Mary Lambert, "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" correspondent and comedian Dulcé Sloan for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, and "America's Got Talent" finalist Vicki Barbolak. Tell us about your background. My love affair with fashion began at a very young age. Being surrounded by women with style, I always knew that I wanted to be a designer. As a plus-size woman, I found the selection of clothing to be limited and unappealing. I always wondered why the plus-size department was always hidden in the back of the store, like the ugly stepchild, and why contemporary, trendy and couture designs stopped at size 14. My frustration to find fashionable and stylish clothing in my size gave me the determination to create my own. Out of necessity, my passion grew, as well as my clientele. Together with my son Chase Tyler, we are making sure Rene' Tyler Plus Sizes 12 & Above is the ultimate fashion destination for women with curves. What prompted you to launch your boutique on the Strip? Rene' Tyler Plus Sizes 12 & Above• Address: Inside The Shoppes at the Palazzo, 3327 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Suite 2922, Las Vegas • Phone: 702-201-3500 • Email: renetyler.com/pages/contact-us • Website: renetyler.com/ • Hours of operation: 10 a.m.–11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.–noon Friday and Saturday • Owned/operated by: Angela Rene' • In business since: 2018 Since Vegas is the ultimate vacation destination, I wanted to make sure plus-size women had a great place to shop. I knew there was a need for beautiful and unconventional designs in sizes 12 and up, and being on the Strip would give women from everywhere, not just Vegas, the opportunity to find designs they were looking for. Who are your customers? What's so great about our location is that the majority of our clients are tourists. We have women from all over the world come in and shop with us. People from Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and all over the U.S., have shopped in our boutique. What is your design and production process? Our design and production are done mostly in house. I am still very engaged in creating the evening and red carpet designs for the brand. Most of the designs are created by me, but due to the high demand, I also work with manufacturers based in L.A. and overseas for some of the ready-to-wear, resort and swimwear designs. How many people do you employ and what special talents do they bring to your team? Our team at Rene' Tyler Plus Sizes 12 & Above is very small and intimate. We have four employees total and have others waiting to come on board. They bring a young and fresh approach to keep me on top of things, My son Chase is the creative director and handles our social media and marketing, and works with several celebrity stylists. Where do you get inspiration for your designs? I get my inspiration from some of my favorite designers and Old Hollywood. I miss the days where people would get dressed up to go out. I particularly love evening wear and couture — really, anything that sparkles and is elegant and sophisticated. That is what made me want to become a designer. What are some fashion trends you'd like to see come back, and what's a current trend you'd like to go away? The trend I would like to see come back actually has — tailored suits. I'm a sucker for a great fitting suit. I love the look of tailored clothes. Don't get me wrong, I also love a flowy Boho maxi dress, but when clothing is fitted and constructed well, you can keep it forever and it will never go out of style. On the other hand, the trend I loathe is biker shorts. They only belong on bikers and at the Tour de France. What is your business philosophy? No risk, no reward. Do what you love, do it well, and people will notice. From the day I started my journey as a designer, it has been a risk. Did I doubt myself? Yes. Was I unsure if it would work out? Of course. But if I didn't take a risk and try, I wouldn't be where I am today. People will risk their money in a slot machine, craps table, etc., but are afraid to take a risk on their dreams. I never wanted to live in regret and later in life ask myself, "what would have happened if I opened my boutique at the Palazzo?" I want to make women look and feel beautiful regardless of their size. The average woman in the U.S. is a size 14/16. My goal is to give them what they have always wanted, the same beautiful, stylish, sexy clothes that are available in smaller sizes. To have women tell me I have changed their lives makes the risk worth it. I am helping women feel good about themselves. Fashion has no size. Fashion is for everyone. Are there plans to expand? We definitely want to expand. Most locals don't want to come to the Strip to shop. They are asking us to come to The District, Downtown Summerlin and Town Square. We are working to make that happen. We also have had requests from our clients from all over the U.S. letting us know that we are needed in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, etc. We even have had requests from Canada, as we have a very large Canadian clientele. In the near future, we plan on doing some pop-up shops in some of these cites, and eventually, we would love to have stores in these markets as well. If you could style/dress one person, who would it be? Oprah has always inspired me and is my No. 1 dream client. She is such a role model and inspiration. She encourages others to believe that no matter where you come from, or whatever life brings you, you can create a life you love. She has always been open and honest about her weight struggles, and it would be an honor to see her in a Rene' Tyler original gown. How do you give back to the community? I have always believed in giving back and paying it forward. Throughout my career, I have given away many of my designs to women with limited incomes and donated to various charities. Locally, I have worked with HELP of Southern Nevada and will be working with Dress for Success Southern Nevada. What's the best business advice you've received? It takes years to become an overnight success, and you can't please everyone. Be honest, have integrity, and your reputation will speak for itself.  |
