Pier 1 Imports, 6090 Garners Ferry Road Suite D: July 2020 2 comments
I have written about Pier 1 Imports before and don't have much to say about this store. I think I was inside once some ten years or so ago. The whole chain is in bankruptcy now and all the stores are shutting. Wikipedia says they are still hoping for a buyer to keep the online side of the brand alive, but to me that seems like a longshot.
UPDATE 16 September 2021 -- As mentioned in the comments, now, temporarily a Spirit Haloween:
Pier 1 Imports, 250 Harbison Boulevard: January 2020 2 comments
As I have mentioned before, my mother, who had a taste for the odd & exotic, used to stop in at Pier 1 from time to time while I was growing up. Since that time, I believe I have only been in a Pier 1 once, and I have never been in this Harbison location.
This store is in an outbuilding by the Outback wing of the Harbison Court shopping center, which I used to visit fairly frequently for Barnes & Noble.
The State has the story on the closing, mentioning that the retailer is closing about half of its 900+ stores. So, say, that's more than 400 locations, which is a pretty whopping number. The retail apocalypse continues..

UPDATE 22 November 2021 -- Now a Popshelf:
Cost Plus World Market, 210 Forum Drive: Late January 2020 2 comments
Google calls Cost Plus World Market a "furniture store". I had never thought of it that way. The only time I went inside this (or any World Market), I was attracted by the food aisles, and didn't really notice any furnishing. Indeed, I think the only thing I've ever had from the chain was a gift of some exotic chocolate bars one birthday.
Commenter Rashaad Egister pre-called this closing back in September of 2019. Apparently World Market was bought by Bed, Bath & Beyond back in 2012, and is caught up in a round of closings for that chain.

UPDATE 14 October 2020 -- This space is not setting up to be an American Eagle:
Pier 1 Imports, 10136 Two Notch Road Suite 107C: 30 July 2018 no comments
As I mentioned once, I have fond memories of quirky products from childhood visits to the old Pier 1 on Garners Ferry. In recent years, the place has rather fallen off of my radar screen to the extent that I didn't even know that they had had a store in the Sparkleberry area until commenter Andrew mentioned it in regards to the old Dentsville location. The State has a bit of information on the closing -- the main reason given is too many locations for the market.
As you can see from the picture, as of this writing, the storefront is yet another Halloween pop-up store.
