Isn't that where fat girls shop? How in the world could they go out of business?

opie, you can think it... just don't say it out-loud! hahahahaha!
i wonder if the "stigma" of shopping at lane bryant had anything to do with it's down-slide in sales?

hey guys,

went by the target shopping center today and noticed lane bryant is closing in a couple of weeks, everything is 50% off. it's sad to see another business closing. hopefully those folks will have good luck finding another job. just wanted to let y'all know in case any of you shop there or like their merchandise.

I didn't even know we had a Lane Bryant!

That may be the problem.

Opie, your mother must be so proud!

Hate to hear that...too many closings and jobs are scarce. Best wishes, thoughts and prayers to all those in need of a job. If I hear anyone is hiring, I'll start a thread...might be a good idea to keep a thread open just for that purpose.

I doubt it, she's dead.

As one of the previously-mentioned-by-Opie "fat chicks" who does shop Lane Bryant... it's closing because they are super freaking expensive and their selection is poor. I have an LB credit card and do most of my shopping online for clearance and seasonal wear like swimsuits. I bought a full-priced swimsuit for an upcoming trip with my partner and **** near maxed out my card, that's how expensive they are.

My mother is deceased also, so is my father. But what I do everyday, is still a reflection on her, my dad and my upbringing.

I would imagine being next door to Catherine's hasn't helped. Catherine's sell very good stuff at very reasonable prices. Always has something on sell. Quality, stylish merchandise.

The really interesting thing to me is that Catherine's is also owned by the Lane Bryant people. This next-door placement I have never understood.

Must be a lot of fat chicks in your neck of the woods.

Opie,
The average women's size is 14, the size at which "plus-sized" clothing begins. And the average size for men is 44.

So maybe we just have a bunch of average size women!

Great idea, Joy. Especially considering the TD no longer has job postings.

That confirms my theory that average people are fat.

Lane Bryant sells comfortable bras that are made with quality breast support. Soon I won't be needing their bras. I plan to go from an F cup to a B.

Victoria's Secret sells nice bras for us "below average" women.

I long for the day I can get these things into a V. S. bra. They have gorgeous, sexy bras.

Us average ones like their bras, too.
