J.Crew Stores Are Renovating

J.Crew Stores Are Renovating

I was in my J.Crew store in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania looking for the new October arrivals to try on. I was disappointed to see that there were no new items! This is the first time that this J.Crew store did not have the new arrivals out and ready to be tried on.

I spoke with a sales associate who told me the items from the October arrivals were in the back stock room. They were not yet on the sales floor because the store was going to be closed for the next three days, starting Monday.

The store in the King of Prussia Mall has been renovating for the last month or so. They knocked down walls and added more fitting rooms. Now, they needed to close the store entirely to add the finishing touches.  The sales associate also told me that the store is such a high volume store that the company can not afford to close it down for a longer period of time.

I am excited to see a brand new store. I wonder what will be different. I wonder what other changes to expect.

Is the store near you renovating?

    Leigh – Thanks for publishing this! I was actually going to head to the KOP store today, and would have been REALLY upset if I got there and it were closed because it’s a bit of a hike for me. They will reopen on Thursday?

    KOP is my closest store too (which is said b/c it’s 2.5 hours for me!). I can’t wait to see the renovations…

    I meant “which is sad” not said….bleh, I need coffee.

    Good morning! One of the nearest J.Crew B&M’s to me – Tyson’s Corner in VA – and the biggest “renovation” that was made was the disappearance of Crewcuts from the store. Other than that, it was a simple shifting of floor arrangements and such.

    Mchseq, the sales associate told me the store would be reopened on Thursday. I would definitely call them before you make the trek out there. I am so glad that I could report this to you before you left your house. I know I would have been super frustrated if I were you and had ventured to the store only to find that it was closed.

    Lauren, I can’t wait to see the renovations either. I will report back on the differences in a future blog post.

    Rae, that doesn’t sound like much renovating to me. This store is putting in about 10 more fitting rooms. They are getting prepared for the holidays, which is crazy in that store. I try not to go near it during peak hours.

    No, it doesn’t, does it? I guess it was more of a marketing “renovation”. I was personally expecting a bigger change than I saw. *shrugs*

    Oh! I do remember that they placed the cash registers all on one side rather than two. =P

    Thanks Leigh! I’ll give them a call Thursday morning.
