Re: Dillards Closing

I loved shopping Dillard's when I lived in NV. Loved their Investments and Westbound brands. No Dillards's here in Chicago. Hope this is not a national thing and that the website will still be working.

Dillards is like WalMart another of those Arkansas outfits that people complain about if they work there.

The ones near us have a horrible selection of ruffled, loud print clothing that is awful and the stores are sort of junkie too. I haven't shopped there much in years. They used to be so nice.

Our local mall has lost Foley's, Macy's, Sears, Montgomery Ward and Mervyn's.

JCPenney is teetering. And now Dillard's?

Beautiful department store about 40 miles from me will close it's mall anchor store in May. Dillards has been in this mall many years. It was and is a little more upscale than the Macys in that mall. Always had beautiful selection of plus sizes and their lingerie department was fabulous. And when Dillards had sales, they were great. They will keep a clearance store about 60 miles from me. When I worked I spent a great deal of money at Dillards even though the sales tax was high. We pay no clothing sales tax in Pa. Sad to see this store go.

I worked for Dillards for many years, many years ago. What mall are you talking about, @bootsanne ??? I live in the Tulsa area and although two stores closed years ago (as did the entire mall they were each in), the remaining stores are doing well here.

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

The only time I was ever in a Dillards was when I visited my mother in south Florida. It was a very nice store but has long been closed.

I'm in PA (southeastern) and I wished there was a Dillards in my area. We also don't pay sales tax on clothing.

We don't have State income tax, they just make it up on another tax.

We have yearly vehicle inspection sticker you have to have on your car if

you get pulled over.

Property tax is pretty steep they do freeze 'em though once you hit 65

This is Amarillo, Tx area.

Nobody has got it over the other when it comes to taxes. ROFL

I've always enjoyed Dillard's. They have had a strong presence in S..E. Louisiana for some time, and IMHO their merchandise has been appealing and of excellent quality. Great sales as well.

But here we are on an internet shopping channel and we are all buying from internet sales sites. How can Dillard's or any other company survive this choice on our parts? I have trouble getting to Dillard's now since my stroke and lack of driving abililty, but I do always check their internet site before I buy elsewhere. I would be very sad if they closed up entirely. I also shop at Belk since they are very close to my home, and offer merchandise that fits into my current lifestyle.

Perhaps we all need to rethink our buying habits to include our local stores as often as possible. Remember, you can try things on with no concern about return shipping costs, and check out fabrics and quality in the local store without limits.

Our local Dillard's announced it was closing in May too. That was probably back in September when they announced. It is pretty ghost-like in the store now. I think they are using the store for things that aren't selling in other stores like things they are trying to get rid of at a reduced price.
