Socks to Be You has opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The sock chain has popped up in malls all over America in the last few years, selling themed and character socks for all ages and nearly all interests. Theme categories currently available include Halloween Socks, Cannabis Socks ("sock" a pair away for Election Night, when Maryland voters are expected to overwhelmingly approve legalization of marijuana in the state), Politics Socks, Outdoor Socks and Mom and Dad Socks.
All Socks to Be You socks are 80% cotton, "100% odor free," and made with environmentally-sensitive materials. Individual sock pairs include Cookie Monster, Make America Sane Again, Going Country or Going Home and OK Boomer. Look for Socks to Be You on Level 2 of the mall, right across from Auntie Anne's.
Please, don't blame the corrupt Montgomery County council when this store goes out of business. I wish them all the success in the world, but it will be tough.
ReplyDeleteThat store looks like the inventory could be boxed up and cleared out in less than a day. Odds are that will happen.
ReplyDeleteThere are ideas. Then there are bad ideas. Then there's this.
ReplyDeleteThis is one store that won't be subject to a smash and grab. I give it six months. Tops.
ReplyDelete@ 1021 I suspect that these stores are just a way to report lost income.
