Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a few of the American Girl stores will be closing their doors for good. The stores are:
Kansas City
Atlanta
Denver
"While decisions that impact our associates, our customers, and the community are always difficult, the closures are a necessary step to optimize our store portfolio and accelerate our expanding e-commerce business,” Jamie Cygielman said about the store closures.
The leases would have expired in early 2021.
I visited the Atlanta store in 2016 and it was really cool! I'm sorry for those who are losing their American Girl store because of this.
I am on the edge of crying now.
Even though none of these are my stores. I feel so bad for everyone who lost their AG store.
I hope there's no more the close permanently.
I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE!!!!
Now I'm crying... Great.
Im also feeling very sorry for all the wonderful staff there losing their jobs. The were so nice and helpful every time I went there.
I heard the news this morning and I was so upset! 😭
I vividly remember my nana surprising with a trip to the Atlanta one (since thats the nearest one to me) for my 10th birthday and I loved it! I had never seen such an incredible place before! Everything was gorgeous and overall wonderful. I’ve made so many memories there it’s extremely heartbreaking to me because we go there every year for my birthday and this year that tradition will be lost 😩
Oh No . I thought they were closing like on break or something but this is not that good . I feel sad for people in this blog who live near their . I wish Covid never gotten this far 😔
I am SOOOOO sad! My mom told me about it this morning. The store closest to us was in Kansas City, and now the closest is going to be St.Louis. I am going to get Joss for my b-day, but I guess now I will be ordering her now. :(
EDIT: I realized that St.Louis one closed, so it's Chicago! ARGGH!!!
