I refused to buy stuff from those places when my daughters were growing up. They felt like they were made of tissue paper and would not survive the first wash.

Have found an online store that sells quality name brands for a discounted price called Boscovs. All their store locations are up north so being in the south I'd never heard of it before finding their site online.

They need to re-brand themselves as ‘Forever 59’ and sell soft, stretchy clothing, play a lot of quiet pop music and serve coffee and/or Chardonnay depending upon the time of day.

Gold mine, Baby! ;)

Forever 21 puts Bible verses on their bags.

The Forever 21 in our local mall took over the space where Borders used to be.

I think it’s more the fact that the company stacked up debt instead of going public to raise money for expansion. Reminds me of Dave and Barry’s. The owners got greedy and wanted to keep owning the shares 100%, while expanding rapidly using loans. Even Sam Walton needed to go public to fund Walmart’s expansion. Having an equity cushion from a stock offering also lowers loan interest expenses. But the owners just had to hold out for top dollar.

You cant blame it solely on amazon.

This is a store that has narrow limited appeal in competition with thousands of other places that sell similar fashions. And quality of what’s sold also is a factor. And their target market is a factor as well.

Stores selling crap/poor quality stuff will not last long on amamzon, due to bad reviews, seller feedback and amazon getting tired of them having a negative impact on selling on amamzon.
