Yeah your right about North Park having it instead of the Galleria...my bad. I still think that Galleria would have the biggest impact branding wise, but maybe North Park is more suburbia. Obviously HO has their eye on the Galleria (over North Park) if it got the RUEHL.

^ I take that back... http://www.northparkcenter.com/press...e/050307e.html ... North Park looks like its kicking ass...maybe it will be one of the first.

well from what i hear off the DM..

Illinois at least will open up GH at Fox Valley and then at Woodfield Mall

- and the appearance i think have been discussed as being a Barn and having only female employees

i can only wonder what the marketing is going to be..

a barn? i thought it was supposed to be a bedroom? i swear, the more i hear about it the more it sounds like a cowgirl place.

these updates change all the time. I've heard about the barn concept as well.

Fact: a handful of people truly know for sure.

so the places gh opens at...are they all going to be the same concept or different concepts, like one the bedroom and one the barn?

Are they still going with the whole "Sydney, Australia" motif?

maybe if they do different concepts that will be one of them.

ask your dms after they come back from columbus. i bet they find out a lot about GH this time.

all i'm saying is new york. i dont wanna say much more. as far as how its going to look i guess we'll all have to wait and be surprised tho. i personally cant wait to see a grand opening. i want me a sea shell thong!

ROFL

please do not post pictures of that.

HMMM....

The mall at Partridge in MI sounds interesting...it opens in October and what I dont understand is we're oversaturated with A&F stores already in that area...Somerset, The Village, and Lakeside....and it's weird that they'd put a new concept in a new mall, especially an outdoor one (the Village is an outdoor one and business is extremely slow there).

What Fox Valley, it's that a pretty crappy mall, Woodfield is so much better

Wow I'm excited. They're building it at the mall I work at. I can't wait.

The cowboy culture is, after all, purely American.

That reminds me, back about 1-2 years ago the A&F and even the Ruehl employees were wearing cowboy boots (some not everyone was doing it), so I'm wondering if this new concept was the reasoning for that, a test if you will to see how nice it would look on the employees...maybe

^ i hope not. few of my friends think lingerie-modeling cowgirls are sexy. and i don't want to know how the others think that they are.

girls wearing lingerie at the store I'll never happen. If the barn concept is true I could see them wearing something like below. Now that would be something but unlikely.

well...more like in the marketing and stuff but you catch my drift.

she's not bad by the way.

No confirmed Tyson's Corner, VA store yet? That makes me sad lol!
