Miss Jackson's/Petty's.....

[Red Arrow]

I've been in Dallas and Philly. It's just a damn discount store for very skinny people.

I checked out their (H&M) website.  Nothing I'm particularly interested in.

Went to the one near OKC a couple of weeks ago.  Bout fell into a coma just getting there. I don't think I have ever seen such a sprawling suburban wasteland before.  Horrid experience, will never go back.  I really don't understand what all that was? 

However, the H&M was just ok.  Didn't have as many suit/blazer type outfits that I usually go to them to get for everyday wear.  Did find some jeans "on the rack" that actually fit.  So that was nice.

I'm in my 30's and never heard of a single person who ever stepped foot in Miss Jacksons much less bought anything.  No one even talked about it, I only knew of its existence because of the sign.  Must be a generational thing.  Was it intentional not marketing or adjusting to new customers or was it just a business model that was not sustainable?

I went in there once because I wanted to spend a lot of money on a pair of shoes for a wedding. They had no selection, same as our Saks and I left empty handed. I'm not sad it's leaving, Utica Square needs it's stores updated.

Went there once back in the 80's to buy my mom some Godiva Chocolate.  The clerks were snooty and treated me like crap.  I've never been back.  Not my vibe.  No loss to me.

It seems if they wanted to survive they would have had to offer something different. You can't compete with Anne Taylor, Saks, Coach and the web by offering the same things they do. One would think they could have partnered with local designers, jewelry makers, and chocolateers... keep a local element to the luxury. Differentiate the product.

What the latest rumor for what is replacing Miss Jacksons?   

Is Petty's out soon too?

The last word from Scott Petty was that they were not planning to close.  Of course that was the last word of Miss Jackson's until they gave their final word they are, in fact, closing.

H & M.....

[SouthTulsaCountyDude]

H & M to take over the Miss Jackson's place or the Petty's area as well?

rumor coming from a good reputable source?

Good source says it will not be an H&M, but closer to a competitor to Saks.  Saks only has another year or two on their land lease.

closer to a competitor to Saks.... meaning?    names?   

[kingsy]

Not sure. I'd hate to say Nordstrom's becuase that is the name that gets thrown around whenever someone is speculating on a project and then it ends up being a Big Lots.  But I do think it will be something like that from everything that I've heard.

Nordstroms Outlet.  Because if you add "Outlet" to anything apparently Tulsans go crazy for it.

There is already a Nordstrom Rack in Tulsa.   That is their "outlet store"
