Women’s Retailer The Limited Closes Remaining 250 Stores

by John Nelson January 10, 2017

BOCA RATON, FLA. — Following last week’s announcement of massive store closures by Macy’s and Sears, The Limited is following suit, announcing over the weekend the closure of all its remaining 250 brick-and-mortar stores. The women’s apparel retailer posted a brief message on its website on Saturday reading “We’re sad to say that all The Limited stores nationwide have officially closed their doors. But this isn’t goodbye. The styles you love are still available online — we’re just a quick click away 24 hours a day.” Sun Capital Partners Inc., a Boca Raton-based private equity firm and owner of The Limited, has not issued a press release on the closure, but released a statement to Reuters citing “an increasingly challenging environment for mall-based retail and women’s apparel” as the catalyst for its decision to shutter the remaining stores. The move is expected to eliminate about 4,000 jobs, including 800 full-time positions, according to Reuters. The Limited Inc. was founded in 1963 in Columbus, Ohio, by Leslie “Les” Wexner, who now serves as the chairman and CEO of L Brands Inc. (NYSE: LB). Known for being a stylish alternative to department stores, The Limited grew to 100 stores by 1976 and …

Major Sales, New Players Enter Vegas’ Retail Market

by Camren Skelton January 10, 2017

There are two trends that describe the current state of retail development in Southern Nevada: restaurants are expanding and some junior boxes are closing. Ecommerce competition and the consolidation of retailers nationally has caused junior box tenants to continue to struggle. It is odd to see a new development like the 1.6-million-square-foot Downtown Summerlin open on the affluent west side of the Valley in October 2014, only to see two junior boxes close since then. The Sports Authority shuttered its doors earlier this year, while Golfsmith just announced it would cease operations by the end of 2016. Other retailers in the development are doing very well, but it is an unfortunate sign of the times to see junior anchors close in good retail developments. When analyzing ecommerce vs. bricks and mortar, retailers are paying more attention to the facts listed in the table below. The example compares Amazon to Walmart — both great businesses but differing models. The reason is clear why it is difficult to compete when Amazon is able to produce 165 percent more per employee. This analysis does not include the difference in fixed assets, which only further exaggerates the advantage for Amazon when considering what a …
