Macy's at Crossroads is closing

[solitude]

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

Actually, the Eddie Bauer Home Stores closed. The apparel stores are unaffected.

I was in there this morning. I didn't notice anything different, but I didn't go near the end where Macy's was. Just Dillards and the bookstore.

last saturday evening i was jonesing for some chick-fila and was surprised by the number of people out at crossroads... the place was quite bustling, in fact. perhaps it wasn't the same type of clientele that one would find at penn square, but i was pleasantly surprised by the number of people out and spending money.

as for macy's, i'm not sure that they're closed just yet... i think they might still be liquidating inventory.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

It's always packed when I'm in there during normal shopping hours.

Is Macy's actually gone now? It seems like I drove by there the other day and still saw the name on the sign.....

Also, today it was announced that Steve & Barry's is cutting a ton of stores, and I heard a rumor that the Crossroads store was sure to get the boot.

In other news, the Dillard's in Crossroads is of some desperate need of updating, especially in their clothing sections. It looks great in the whole entry area, but you get into the "little traffic" areas, and it's just old ripped orangey carpet. But it sure seems pointless now!

Dillard's is usually the last one to leave a mall. Most of the dying Dillard's stores become closeout stores before they close for good.

I give Crossroads until January of 2009. It may be earlier than that if Toys R' Us and Steve & Barry's closes up shop.

Is Toys R Us closeing too??

[SeinfeldBlock]

I've wondered how that Toys 'R Us is still open. I thought for sure they would move to the shops on 240.

It's sad that Crossroads is closing, mainly because it's sad to see another thing go down. Honestly, if it closes, I hope they bulldoze it and do something useful with it, or use it for office-type stuff only. (They already have a lot of offices, I think).

Another random comment relating to Crossroads area--I heard there was going to be a Heart Hospital built on Sooner/240--so I would expect that area to grow a lot soon.... anyone else heard of that? Maybe that's for a new thread.

That hospital is well underway. The land was cleared long ago and there are already dozens of concrete pillars in place.

As you can tell, I never go in that direction!! Ha ha. Perhaps I should drive down there.

Thanks for the info...

On a side note, I went to that Best Buy next to Crossroads to buy a new tv, and I got excellent, excellent service. I was a little surprised.

[oneforone]

Is Toys R Us closeing too??

I have not heard anything that says one way or the other for Toys R' Us.

I am just predicting that they will close. I do not see how the store can stay open with no traffic passing by the store.

Hardly anyone parks on the Noth side of the mall anymore. Everybody parks on the South side.

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.

Not all young black people are gangbangers

Just because someone is wearing red or blue doesnt mean they're in a gang

Stop sterotyping

The mall is dead though I went there today and.... It's kinda weird. No one goes there anymore

I don't think Toys R Us is going to close. There's one by Eastland Mall in Tulsa that's still open, and Eastland is in a location sorta similar to Crossroads (basically alone by itself with just a few buildings surrounding it) and has been a "dead mall" for quite a while. Virtually the only thing that's nearby is a small strip mall with a Marshalls and the (empty) mall; the nearby Target was closed. Eastland is in a worse location than Crossroads so I don't think that the Crossroads one will close, unless they decide to move somewhere else.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that Crossroads is going to close in 2009, as everyone is speculating. They probably have long-term leases with a lot of their tenants, and a mall doesn't usually just shut down. like look at Heritage Park...it's been worse than Crossroads (aside from all of the "gang-bangers") for quite a while and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere! Unless they are planning to do some sort of redevelopment or have a particular reason, why would the mall close? They'd be missing out on revenue from tenants, and I don't think that Crossroads would deterioriate to the point that NOBODY would locate there, especially since Dillards will probably stay for quite a while.

I said something similar in another thread. Malls don't just announce one day, "we're closing next month--get your product out."

[SeinfeldBlock]

Heard an ad that Crossroads is offering no-tax this weekend. I need to pick up a few things and I'm tempted to go in there and check it out just to save a few bucks.


Also, I want to explore the emptyness..... call me crazy!

[ddavidson8]

You're crazy.

The State of Oklahoma is having a tax-free weekend not just Crossroads Mall. Here's the story from DOK.


Tax holiday looming
By Michael Kimball
Staff Writer

Oklahoma’s second sales tax-free weekend begins Friday, giving the state’s shoppers a three-day window to purchase clothing items that cost less than $100 without having to pay sales tax.

Exempt from the tax holiday are accessories and clothing or footwear designed specifically for athletic activity or protective use. Exempt items include jewelry, handbags, luggage, umbrellas, wallets and watches.

Every retailer in the state is required to participate, and anyone may buy the tax-exempt items. Even items bought online from Oklahoma retailers are tax-exempt.

[jbrown84]

You're crazy.

Don't be ridiculous. You act as if it's a war zone.

[ShiroiHikari]

So the sales tax thing only applies to clothing? Because I did some grocery shopping last night and still had to pay tax. I wish we didn't have to pay sales tax on groceries...*sigh*
