If you don’t know already Gap Inc.’s Forth & Towne stores will be closing at the end of June (sigh), which blows because I actually liked the store. Forth & Towne was like Harold’s/Ann Taylor/Banana Republic/White House Black Market; mashed into one great store that provided me with work and play essentials.
I remember like it was yesterday, going to New York City and finding this oasis that kept me step ahead of my co-workers hum-drum wardrobe but, not to bold as to isolate senior management. Ah yes, you were perfect; too bad they didn’t market you correctly or place you in better markets to reach your targets (I mean really; why were there no Forth & Towne stores in the DC Metro area??? Who was the genius in the meeting who suggested not having some stores here?). I will definitely miss Forth & Towne but, I think I will be able to get over it considering how the stores are having serious sales (up to 60%) to clear out the merchandise (yippie!!!!!!!!!) and because Forth & Towne focused on classics this is a sale one can ill afford to miss. So, Ladies if you are in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle fire up the AMEX and head to your nearest store to stock up on some summer classics before they officially close their doors at the end of June.
Good Bye Forth & Towne, you will be missed.

Cute! Thanks for the advice. I use a custom design cigarette case to hold my business cards. But, like everything else, I like to switch things up a bit.

Wow…it seems like I just learned about this brand and now their closing. I heard the Gap was having serious problem in all 3 of the major brands and now this.
At the sale should be nice. Thanks.

I heard that the brand did very well, but Gap decided not to pursue it in order to focus on their other brands. No wonder they are having issues.

I’m within driving distance of a couple of the Forth and Towne stores, and I’ve been stocking up. If there’s still things at the Century City store next weekend, I’ll be there.
GPS is a ridiculous company. Why kill something that was doing well because you feel it’s a resource drain.
