Von Maur

[Cardsfan]

The store in Birmjngham is a new location. You can't judge product off of 1 single location more less one that doesn't even have LY numbers. I'm a area manager for a retailer and have been with my company for 16 yrs. in our company (like most) the inventory levels will be based on sell throughs and overall volume. You can have 2 stores in similar markets but if one is doing 30-40% more business it's simple logistics that that store will have deeper depth in product and selection. Btw

I really hope this starts a revitalization of Quail Springs. I used to go to that mall all the time as a kid and worked there in high school at a few shops.

I went to Dillard's at Penn Square Mall today (What a mistake! Didn't realize it was tax free weekend) and discovered they have dropped some of their better lines. They are picking up Ralph Lauren Blue, which is not Black but hopefully will be good. I will definitely be checking out Von Maur's merchandise despite the ghastly drive.

Betts, I did the same thing yesterday, forgetting about the sales tax holiday weekend. We went to the school uniform store to pick up a couple of (not urgently needed) things for my daughter. When we walked in the door, we were given a piece of paper to fill out. The guy then said someone would help us when an associate got freed up. There were probably 25 people sitting there waiting and maybe six sales associates. After about ten seconds I looked at my daughter and told her we weren't going to stay. We then went home, ordered the things at the store's online site, got free shipping and got the sales tax discount as well. The only things we couldn't get online were hair accessories. No biggie. Hell, I'd even pay EXTRA sales tax to not fight those crowds. Not my cup of tea.

There will be cupolas above each entrance (much like below), which I didn't see in the intial renderings...

as long as it spends a pair of pants through the money. Something we all can agree on

Thats going to be a beautiful store.

[FighttheGoodFight]

To say it looks better than Sears is an understatement. Can't wait to see it!

[bchris02]

It looks awesome. Should set a new bar for OKC retail. I wonder how/if Dillard's and Macy's QSM locations will respond?

The architecture would indicate this store is geared towards the folks living down the street at Epworth Villa.

Care to elaborate? Ever been to or shopped at a Von Maur?

Care to elaborate?

I think Cuatro is referencing the cupolas.

Just received "invitation" from Von Maur in the mail, Grand Opening October 18th. And of course an invitation to apply for their credit card, interest free guys.

I'm sure it was a mass mailing. I received the same offer and deposited it in the proper receptacle.

But try and walk to it. Look at all that parking. I'm ready for walkable retail and will shop at Von Maur when they build a store I can walk to.

Well don't go on a busy day and you'll be right by the front door

don't mean to act like im coming after you but a) its a mall in suburbs b) there is a chance you'll have to walk a bit but you want a store you can walk to? c) its a big department store and very unlikely there will be one here in an urban environment.

I agree. Quail Springs Mall is a suburban shopping mall. I don't see why that is a surprise to anybody. OKC is still a long way, likely decades, from being able to support retail on that scale downtown. Even larger cities that are much farther along in developing their core have their upscale department stores in the suburbs.

Von Maur will be great for QSM and I am looking forward to what it will do for the mall long-term.
