Gymboree, Richland Mall: Summer 2017 7 comments
Well, there has been speculation for a while, what with Gymboree's Chapter 11 filing, but the other shoe dropped today:
SAN FRANCISCO – Children's clothing seller Gymboree Corp. is closing 350 stores as its works to restructure in bankruptcy.
The San Francisco-based company said Tuesday that it's mostly closing Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores. It also operates Janie and Jack stores. The company will have more than 900 locations after the stores are shut down.
The full closing list is here, and includes, unsurprisingly, this Richland Mall store, as well as the one at Sandhill. The closing sales are supposed to start on 18 July.
I took these pictures back in early June and even then, the whole store was 50% off -- I don't think this is a big surprise to them.
I have to admit I had never heard of Janie and Jack or Crazy 8.
UPDATE 3 February 2021 -- Here's another picture I just came across apparently from 26 April 2013:
Also adding a map icon.

Belk is still there. Also the eye glass place, the barber shop, the call center, the children's theater, the movie theater, B&N, the Ping Pong plaza and several others that escape me right now.

Ted, the call center moved to Elgin some time around 2010. I found this article from The State from Dec 2009 talking about how it was going to hurt the mall.
http://www.thestate.com/news/business/article14363468.htmlI believe that there are now 2 companies in the old call center. I think that Pricewaterhouse Coopers is one and I don't know what the other is. I also think that when these companies moved in that they expanded their square footage out into unused hallway on the upstairs of the Parisian end of the building.

Sad. My mother took me here all the time as a kid, mostly for the playgroup activities they used to have. Another Richland Mall store kicks the bucket.
