Yvonne Fx closes at Montgomery Mall

Yet another business closure to report this morning. Women's apparel boutique Yvonne Fx has closed at Westfield Montgomery Mall. The store opened only five months ago, and is the latest victim of Montgomery County's moribund economy and notoriously anti-business climate. Montgomery County has suffered a net loss of retail jobs since the turn of the century, according to the Maryland Retailers Association.

"Montgomery County has suffered a net loss of retail jobs since the turn of the century, according to the Maryland Retailers Association."

So has Northern Virginia. So has every region in the country.

5:07: Nope. Just Montgomery County in our region. Other regions are irrelevant to the D.C. area discussion and competition among local jurisdictions.

And still no mention of Aim Point Shoot closing three weeks ago, less than a month after opening.

Aim Point Shoot is still open, as of yesterday anyway.

False reports that the shooting gallery closed.

Another Barrel & Crow fiasco?

The problem when you don't talk to a real, live person before reporting! Pick up the phone.

Regular reminder that:

Marriott spox confirmed Dyer's reporting on Tastee during a public community meeting

Multiple other local bloggers incorrectly reported Sears closing almost a year before the actual date. Dyer broke the news on the correct closing date and had video of the emotional final sign off by employees

Kaldi's posted an ad saying they were closing and getting rid of furniture

Any questions?

"spox" again.

It's humiliating!

5:40: LOL - It's still open, old sport. Looks like you were duped by #FakeNews.

What does everyone want to see in this space?

Oh, for heaven's sake. It's the same thing all over the country.

Open for a few months. maybe over the holidays, sell online rest of the year.
Rural malls go the White Flint route, more suburban/urban are re-purposing.
We should be glad it's not another Lakeforest or White Flint.
