I've looked at wa whole bunch of sites, and they either say they're closing all stores, or just a lot. But the thing is, most of these posts or sites were updates in '08. The one I just looked at was posted in May and it said they would all be closed by December. Well I have an option of two malls that I can go to when I want, and the PacSun in both of them is still open. And neither of the stores have signs up in the window saying they're gonna close? What's up with that? Are they closing or not?
They are closing 150 "non-core" stores. The whole company isn't closing. They are just getting rid of their under performing stores to save money.
I didn't hear about it, ask the store manager, or the regional manager.
The PacSun near me just closed. Looks like with the economy doing so horribly they could all be going downhill.
no, pacsun is not closing. I am a store manager for PacSun and i can assure you that the company is not going downhill. Yes, due to the economy, stores that are not profitable will close..but this is the same as any company.
ReplyDeleteThere was a press release last year saying that PacSun was closing all if its DEMO stores. do some research, Pacsun Demo stores were a "urban" type store that sold things like Roca Wear, Ecko, etc. Most of our customers did not know that DEMO was related to PacSun. Therefor, when they said that PacSun was closing all of its DEMO stores (not the same thing as PacSun stores), everyone went haywire.
So there ya go. PacSun is NOT closing, so shop and keep the culture alive :)
