We found out a week ago that we have to close our store. What a damn mess. After 30 years of being there we can`t stay. I really don`t like the new mall owners. We will be closed by the 20th of this month. Sad now.
It makes me sick! That was my store! It pisses me off that they were offering Bear a much better deal to stay. Why the hell were they trying to screw Haroon?
Yeah. I`m really pissed about it. I had Haroon go talk to Bear and the spot they had open for him was only 1,000 square feet (way smaller than our spot) and when they figured out the price per foot they were screwing him too! They are being so awful about everything. I don`t know how anyone can stay there.
Oh no! That really sucks! Are you going to the other store I hope? Or will they open a new location? I can't believe they are making you leave, from the little I heard I thought the mall would stay open during the construction. What are the details on that?
From what I understand, the mall is going to stay open for the most part. However the rent that they wanted was astronomical and insane. Most everyone is leaving at this point. The new owners seem to think that they can make huge bank on rent of this place. I don't see it happening.
I could see maybe *after* everything is finished it being high rent, but not while construction is happening, if anything they should offer lower rent during the remodel because there will be so much lost business.
I`m going to our new store in foothill village. We aren`t going to open another store until we know what will happen with all of the other malls that are under going construction right now. They wanted a huge amount of money for us to stay plus a lease so long Saraphina would be a teenager by the time the lease was up. Haroon kept trying to negotiate better terms but they wanted it just the one way no exceptions.
