Macy's at Crossroads is closing

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Not sure when they bought Suncoast, but I quit going there years ago because of them being consistently MUCH higher on just about everything than most other places. Nice stores, good employees, decent selection (had stuff other than American Pie crap movies), but like I said...The prices drove me, a gross consumer, right out of that place many, many moons ago. Long before I started buying the majority of my stuff online.

Truth be told...Wal-Mart is going to put in a Chinese Outlet Store in Crossroads.

Does anybody know if the hotels will be torn down as well?

There are no plans to tear anything down.

And about Eddie Bauer, I think they are closing all over. The same thing is happening at McCain Mall here in Little Rock, which is our "other" mall similar to Crossroads in OKC. Walk in and it looks like you've gone back to 1989 because they haven't renovated it since the late 80s.

The Quail Springs Eddie Bauer was remodeled just a couple years ago, and from what I understand, it's losing it's lease, not going out of business or being closed by the company.

As far as Suncoast goes, you may want to give it another shot, if you like buying used merchandise. We started carrying great used titles at a good price. The FYE stores also get a great selection of used, even getting stuff sometimes to the same week it's released. You can trade your stuff in at any of the stores, for cash or credit. The stores are owned by a different company now, and it's better. I agree some of the prices are WAY OVER, but we do have some really good deals. You never know what you will find!

It seems so many stores are closing from this post. Is there anywhere nice to shop in upscale stores in the Edmond/OKC area????

[jbrown84]

There's a collection of upscale national and local retail in the Spring Creek area at 15th & Bryant in Edmond. There's also a plethora of upscale shopping in Penn Square.

Don't let this thread worry you.

I thought I'd revive this thread with this comment:

A Forever 21 is on the waiting list at Penn Square.

BTW, Forever 21 also own Gadzooks.

[jbrown84]

There's at least two empty spaces in Penn. The former Suncoast and the former Victoria's Secret, the latter of which is quite large.

[Patrick]

The Limited will be moving to the old Victoria's Secret space. They are currently in a temporary space near JC Penney on the first level. Essentially, Victoria's Secret and The Limited swapped spaces to remodel.

Most malls leave a couple of spaces open for temporary tenants, or for displaced tenants. The space currently taken by the temporary limited, and the space currently taken by the calendar store (on the lower level Macy's wing) are their 2 temporary spaces.

Also, the jewelry store on the upper level Dillards wing is now available, although it's a very small space.

Simon is planning a complete overhaul of the fountain in center court. Essentially, the machinery in the old fountain is broken, and they're trying to reconstruct it so it will last longer, and not break down. The same company that built the waterfountain in Bricktown will be working on the fountain at Penn Square. Total price tag is $250,000.

Forever 21 is a good store i cant wait for that to open

Has anyone been to Macy's to see what kind of deals they have?

[BailJumper]

Last time I stopped in (last weekend) lots of stuff was moving, but I didn't think the prices were all that great.

[masonsmomma]

If Forever 21 comes to Penn, like they are planning what will happen to Gadzooks? As far as I know, when we closed our Suncoast location the mall management that did our walk through with us said that there was no tenant for our spot yet. But they don't always tell the truth!

Best Buy Isnt Going In By Home Depot In Moore, Its Going By Jc Penny.

30-50 percent off. But their prices were astronomical to begin with, so right now, they're just normal prices.

Victoria's Secret closed in Penn Square? What happened? I thought they did a good business. What about the other locations? This is surprising - I knew nothing of it.

No, they just moved to a different (larger) location. They're on the ground level on the west side of the mall across from Dillards. My wife had me in there for over an hour on the day after Thanksgiving.

[Karried]

Victoria Secrets at Quail moved as well, to the lower level. Much larger with new sections highlighting and touting their new lines.

[solitude]

Thanks for the scoop! The initial mentions of Victoria's Secret in this thread just mentioned "space left by Victoria's Secret" and I was afraid they had left Penn Square - which would have made no sense. A larger location definitely does! Thanks for clearing that up.

Anyone know if Steve & Berry's at Crossroads is closing? They are promoting a "storewide clearance" were nothing is over $8.98. A lot is gone and they do not appear to be restocking. A lady at the register asked if they were going out of business and the cashier quickly said 'no.' But, another worker looked up shyly and and nodded yes. Anyone heard anything?

No idea but I wouldn't be suprised if it is going to close, I do miss when that store was a electronics and furturite store

Actually Forever 21 owns Gadzooks. They purchased Gadzooks a few years ago, after the original Gadzooks Inc. went bankrupt. Go into any Gadzooks store and you'll see that all of their clothing now says Forever 21 on the label. Both stores are similar now and sell the same clothing lines.

Basically, Forever 21 is slowly phasing out the Gadzooks name and going with Forever 21, Forever XXI (their flagship stores), For Love 21, and Heritage1981. Not sure if they'll do away with the Gadzooks name completely, but that's the trend right now.
When their leases come up on the Gadzooks stores, they're replacing them with Forever 21 stores. That's what took place at Quail Springs, and that's what will probably take place at Penn Square when their lease is up on their Gadzooks location.

Is Macy's planning to expand one of the other stores once this one closes? Like with furniture? The one at Quail Springs is really small.

No, all Steve and Barry's are doing that. I'm in the Twin Cities area and ours up here has that sale as well.

What's sad is that it seems that Quail Springs is now going down the CrossRoads path.

Last night, we went out to my wife's favorite store...Eddie Bauer to find her something new. When we walked in...there was a sign at the front saying that the store was closing down the Quail location. I located an employee and asked them why they were closing. She told me that when Eddie Bauer went to renew their lease in October, they were informed that the mall had already leased their location to another store. The rumor is that it will be a "Forever 21". The employee told me that Quail management was wanting to bring in more stores that cater to the young, hip hop crowd.

Well, as we then walked around the mall, we began seeing what I had believed was coming true...there are more young hip hoppers than there are adults. I know this sounds bad, but it seems that the Latino gangs may have run the hip hop gangs off from Cross Roads, and up to Quail. It looked like a Crips/Bloods convention at Quail last night. I guess I will now have to do all my shopping at Penn Square.

I am not positive but I believe Eddie Bauer has or is filing for Bankrupcy Protection and all there store nation wide are clisn,g I am not 100% sute, that is my understanding
