Local Stores Closing - SLC, UT

Bittersweet announcement today.

Some of our local stores here in SLC, UT are bidding us a sweet farewell...

Which ones?

The BANANA REPUBLIC at Trolley Square Mall &
The ANN TAYLOR at Fashion Place Mall.

I know, sad right?

At a moment like this i think back to a quote by Rebecca Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic...

"You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that's what it's like when I see a store. Only it's better.... A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store. If a man doesn't fit, you can't exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. And a store always smells good. A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew you needed. And when your fingers first grasp those shiny, new bags... oh yes... oh yes"

Thats how i felt the first time i walked into the Banana at the Trolley mall. I knew in my mind that it contained the same things as the other Banana's but it was the first one i went into ALONE & at that moment i felt so adult, so fancy because if the chicness that Trolley brings to every store it contains...

That was years ago and now due to the recession and the end of the holidays, we must now say goodbye to this Banana.

Same situation with Ann Taylor except that we had just met about 4 months ago (I don't go to fashion place that much). I have gotten some awesome pieces from this store but all too soon we must say goodbye to this little treasure as well..

Of course im being way over dramatic with a tinge of sarcasm but i am sad to see these stores that have been around for years, suddenly pop up and leave due to the recession.

But we must not be sad and reap the rewards.

CLOSING DATES
Both Banana Republic and the Ann Taylor store will be closing around the same time, January 25th, 2010. For maps click picture of stores above.

They both have informed me that they will be having many liquidation sales throughout the month so be sure to head over to both locations, throughout the month and see if you can find a steal of your own.
