Lord and Taylor’s is a great store. At Christmas time they actually play Christmas carols - and this is in NYC. The salespeople are lovely and polite. Hope it never changes.
My daughter loved L&T’s clothes and whenever a new season’s line would come in we would buy one of everything. She wore a 5 petite and few other stores, even in Houston, could match their selection, fit and price in that size. Then she was killed in an auto accident. L&T closed shortly thereafter. Trying to find humor where we could, one family member suggested that L&T closed here because they had lost their most substantial source of revenue.
Went to Chicago in 2006 during Thanksgiving weekend and was delighted to see a L&T there. They even had Salvation Army bellringers and their red kettles outside the store, Christmas decorations galore inside the store and Christmas carols. Would be surprised if they still do though.
