Mall Retailer Now Makes An Unexpected Closure in New York
A mall retailer now makes an unexpected closure in New York just weeks after having a fire sale, sources are confirming.
Eastern Mountain Sports is reportedly set to shutter a branch in the Guilderland town outside of Albany, New York.
This EMS location was located in the Stuyvesant Plaza mall.
The store had started a moving sale in April.
Reports at the time said the location had planned to move to a new spot within the same mall.
Despite this, recent signs at the location have said “Store Closing” and “Going out of Business,” according to the Times Union.
These sales have also continued
The original plan to relocate this spot has now become doubtful.
A spokesperson for Stuyvesant Plaza said the mall was not certain about the future of EMS in their retail space.
“Things are very fluid right now,” they said.
“We don’t have an answer.”
Local fans shared their thoughts on the closure in the comments of a Facebook post.
“This is such a bummer,” one person wrote.
“EMS has such good deals,” they added.
“I’ll miss shopping there.”
“Another store closing?” another person commented.
The retailer has 24 other locations across the East Coast and New England, according to the company’s website.
Other retailers have also had to deal with difficult closures.
A Walmart store is set to shut in a few days time.
The location in Aurora, Colorado, around 10 miles east of Denver, is set to shut on June 7.

“As we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy, we see a bright future for TGI Fridays,” said Weldon Spangler, CEO of TGI Fridays earlier this week.
“We are at the helm of a pivotal moment that will allow us to explore boundless advancement, expansion, and innovation to keep delivering ‘That Fridays Feeling’ that our fans know and love.”
Before the closures, TGI Fridays had about 270 US locations, according to the company’s website.
“As part of the store closures, TGI Fridays is offering more than 1,000 transfer opportunities, which represents over 80% of total impacted employees,” the company previously said in a statement.

Eight other locations were sold to former CEO Ray Blanchette, a longtime stakeholder who will acquire the previously corporate-owned restaurants.
The sale comes as major changes have been made to the brand’s leadership, including the news of Weldon Spangler being made CEO.
“As we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy, we see a bright future for TGI Fridays,” said Spangler in a statement.
