Tragedy has truly struck in my life.
I have been to this Loehmann's location once since moving to AZ about a year or two ago and then my car stopped working. Finally I fixed my car this week and couldn't wait to get to Loehmann's. I gleefully made the trip and devoted an entire day to shopping at one of my favorite stores in the world.
Alas, as I drove into the oddly busy parking lot (I feared maybe they were having a mega sale and I was left out!) I looked toward the store only to cast my eyes upon a ripped down sign, darkened shuttered windows and locked doors. This Loehmann's has closed, and they never even told me even though I'm in their insiders club!
I quickly parked my car and ran up to the doors to see if there was any note or trace as to when they closed or why. I'm sure I made a true spectacle of myself as I peered in and cried in agony to myself... almost with tears streaming from my cheeks. There is truly no justice in the world today.
I suppose that they closed because nobody here really knows about Loehmann's like they do in the east and plus they were in a really strange area. It's true that this Loehmann's probably wasn't quite up to par with the ones in NYC (But how could you possibly compare them?) But they still had plenty of terrific things and I bought a ton of stuff when I came here. Looks like now I'll have to book a flight back to NYC just to go shopping at my favorite store again.
Loehmann's, you will be missed terribly here!
