meetooo Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 On my local news this morning... all Oregon and Washington state Mervyn's are shutting down by "next year" (tho an earlier report, I heard "by the end of March". Look for clearance sales on everything!
Cheri0113 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 boohoo.....that makes me really sad. I love going to Mervyn's
fairydustcrissy Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Oh, how I miss Mervyns. They closed here years ago. That was where I got bit by the clearance bug. Good times.....gooooood times.
meetooo Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 i remember when Montgomery Wards went out in our town (i recently found them online tho, with some good deals... forgot the URL). They had a mark down clearance, based on days... like the first week 25% off, the second 50% off, and so on. I got SO MANY dang good deals (like leather ladies shoes that i STILL wear for a buck, etc) and I practically lived there for a month... going every day to see what was newly put out and newly reduced. It was a blast. I remember too when Rite Aid's new year clearances were AWESOME. I got a panasonic CD player boom box for $8, and it is a rival for my stereo as far as sound goes. I can't wait to see prices dropping at Mervyn's!
RossMAN Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Portland, Oregon here Where are you all from?
meetooo Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Smelso/Longpew here....... oops... I mean Kelso/Longview WA here. We have the destinct designation of having the HIGHEST rate of Gonorrhea in the state (over seattle and tacoma... shrug)! I am SO proud! Edit: ... and purposely single and celebate. (er, the single part isn't purposely, but becoming a necessity with the news reports of late.)
outnumbered Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 They'd better keep the CA ones open. I have a LOT of shopping to do there when we move back home.
CarpeDiem Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 No way Well maybe I will score so awesome deals!
cotejb Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 There was a Mervyn's in Monroe Louisiana that just closed right after Christmas this year. I don't know if they are going bankrupt or what....
redoregano Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Just an update on the Mervyn's in OR/WA I went to the Vancouver Mall store and the one in Clackamas. Sales are at 40-50% off almost everything now (kitchenaid stuff was only 30%, etc.). I'm hoping next week it drops even more. Seemed like they still had a lot of stuff left
WAHCHING Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 did target own meryvns till they sold it or split off?
angel-too Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Mervyns is based in Cali. so they'll remain there and only a few other places. Target sold Mervyn's. They just closed down here in MI. and there clearance sales were great, everything went pretty fast. They sold EVERYTHING that wasn't nailed down. Displays and display tables. Great deals for anyone who has small businesses/stores. The display furniture wasn't selling fast enough so they ended up slashing them from 10-20 dollars. I got a cool spinning sunglass display rack for 10 bucks.............I have alot of costume jewelry pieces. I painted it and lined the small side shelves with felt and put it in my walk in closet. Now I can "see" all my jewelry and every morning, its like shopping in my own closet spinning it to see what to wear!
yuyi64 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 They closed all the Mervyns locations in Louisiana in January.
