Anchorage Gottschalks on list for purchase

Published Saturday, May 23, 2009

The Gottschalks' store in Anchorage is one of 16 that a company called "Forever 21" wants to take over.

The Fairbanks store is not on the list of 16 stores in California, Washington and Alaska.

"Gottschalks supports the $17.7 million bid, which would enable Forever 21 to buy three properties -- in Hanford, San Luis Obispo and Yuba City -- and take over 13 rental locations," the Fresno Bee reported Friday.

    What it means is there is not a high enough percentage of fools in Fairbanks for a store that markets overpriced products to make a go of it! Good luck in Anchorage!

    Forever 21 sounds like a store trying to compete with the Fountain Of Youth! LOL!

    If you have a teenage daughter...they are familiar with this store...they have an aggressive mail-order market for Alaska...and a physical presence in Anchorage will certainly help. Just another reason to take your teen to Anchorage for shopping.
