Scoop on Hecht's GOOB at Fair Oaks, VA?

"Vicki in DC" <Nickycharles2...@yahoo.com>
Hey DC area AFers:
Does anyone know if it's started? Michele H and I were talking about
this a few weeks ago and she told me the store was going to be cleared
out by Easter. We went to White Marsh near Baltimore about 3 weeks ago
(DH's old stomping grounds) and I wanted to browse the spring shoes at
the Hecht's there only to find it stripped and "Last 5 days" signs
everywhere. I don't want to miss the boat again!
TIA

Yeah, I've been wondering this myself. I've been stuck in external
training class all week, so no sneaking out at lunch to find out.
Someone on the fashion board at makeupalley said that the VA Beach store
is already cleaned out, too. But when I was at FO last (2 weekends ago)
there wasn't anything anywhere even indicating that such a sale was going
to happen. Now I'm convinced I've already missed it. Wah. :P

Yes, and the Washington Post had an article about it a while back that
said some of the Hecht's stores were closing outright instead of being
converted. One of those was in VA Beach (IIRC) and one was in White
Marsh (per Vicki's post). According to the Post article, the Hecht's at
Fair Oaks was going to sell out all its inventory by Easter (again IIRC),
and then the Macy's that is already in the mall is going to move over to
that space.
As it turns out, I managed to get over to Fair Oaks earlier today, and if
they're having a GOOB sale, I couldn't find it. I did ask a Clinque SA
(while she was ringing me up) if she knew anything about it, and she said
all she'd heard was that at some point some stuff would be 90% off but
she didn't know when.
So that's why Vicki and I are waiting and wondering. :)
I was there to pick over the remains of Garfinckel, Raleigh and
Woodward&Lothrop, so I feel it's only right that I should be there for
the end of Hecht's. Hee.

Hmmm, thanks for the info Michele. If they planned to be cleared out by
Easter I think the sale would have started at least 2 weeks ago...maybe
Macy's has changed their plans w/o telling anyone? Even AF??? How
blasphemous of them ;–).
