Where Would You Open a New Signature Store?

[Cathy O]

Not sure this will go anywhere ... but I thought it might be fun nonetheless. Perhaps some of you who manage and/or work at Sig Stores could pass the info up the ladder.

If you were going to open a new Signature Store, where would you open it? And why?

My proposal is to open a store in Columbus, Ohio.

There are only 2 Sig Stores in the entire state, and both are located in the Cincinnati area. Plus, Columbus has a V-E-R-Y loyal Vera customer base. I see them all the time wherever I go.

Boston, Massachusetts!

How this city doesn't have one yet, I don't know. Big city, lots of people, and it's way closer than Natick!

Pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean I would love to have one in my little dinky town... but Pittsburgh is only an hour and there are TONS of people, and 6 universities plus!

Columbus would work Its about 3 hours for me but i have family there

They need one somewhere in Florida other than Miami. Vera Bradley is huge down here, every time I go out and about I see lots!

[amandas]

Louisville, KY. It would work great at The Summitt!!

Columbus, OH, would work for me...or even New Albany. Or Pickerington, which is close to Columbus.

heck yes! try orlando and tallahassee at least. i would love for one to make it to pensacola, but that's very unlikely. the closest sig. store to me is birmingham, and that's a ways off to drive, but it's worth it on occassion.

Somewhere in the state of Missouri--we have no sig stores

New York!!! Of all places, you would think NYC would already have a sig store, but there isn't one in NY state even. Of course I would prefer one on Long Island, but it would be more likely to come to the city :-p

I still don't get why Charlotte doesn't have one. Vera is *huge* here and we even had an Outlet Sale here a few years back... there is a nice part of Charlotte that a Signature Store would fit into quite nicely.

I agree with Trichelle! We need one here in Pittsburgh! Omg can you imagine how busy it would be if it were near Pitt, CMU or Carlow campus?! Yeah I suppose Columbus wouldn't be too bad. We have some great retailers here but I would LOVE to visit a sig. store!

Yup, I agree w/Charlotte of course. It would fit in well at South Park or preferably Northlake since that's closer to me. ;D

im going to second, or third whichever it is Orlando! thats like the biggest shopping city in the south. those outlet malls down there are freakin huge

I think there should be one in New York State. The nearest one is in New Jersey. Even CT. I would think a signature store would do great in Greenwich or Stamford, CT. It would take me about 2 hours but its easier for me to go to CT than NJ. One in NYC would be great too.
