Relocation: Disney Store

Relocation: Disney StoreNot too long after The Bombay Company moved out of their location on The Park, a sign went up in the window stating that the Disney Store would be relocating from Pear Lane to the old Bombay spot. Interesting, indeed! No timeframe was given.

As a follower of the business side of Disney, I'm guessing that this is a move to put the Disney Store into a spot with less square footage, thus saving on rent. Not too long ago, Disney sold their struggling retail chain to The Children's Place to run under a licensing agreement. Perhaps this is a reflection of the new strategy. The Disney Store is a shallow reflection of what it once was, so I'm not hopeful either way. Stupid Michael Ei$ner!
