coming back 20 years later was a good idea. The store will have lost its negative reputation. Teens and young adults have no history of being embarrassed to shop there and hopefully the forty-somethings have grown up.
I was born 1980 so I grew up shopping at Ames, never wanted them to close. I hope they regain their popularity and open up across the country I have missed them.
@@CoverageAwarenessStudio Oh I know they caused their own fall. It's being said that Ames is supposed to make a comeback, I can't fully see how though.
And the Ames was diamond point, because I saw your comment on Diamond point Chuck E Cheese and I didn't expect to find your comment here, I never went to Ames
We had an Ames located just outside of our small town and it was so great because it was a local place to do some shopping for stuff like clothes and household items without having to travel to the nearest city. I spent so much time out there when I was young. Bought a lot of playstation games and Dragon Ball Z figures out there. Was a huge loss once they decided to close the store's location.
Putting aside the issue of whether or not this is a hoax, let us address the fact that this company failed to survive in a retail market WITHOUT Amazon as a factor. Even if every abandoned Ames were to somehow magically reopen with full inventory and staff, there's no reason to believe that they would be anything resembling competitive. Sears is down to just 17 stores. Kmart is down to 3. These are two retail chains that survived when Ames couldn't. You might as well try bringing back Blockbuster.
Who actually made this statement? An actual company representative that works for an entity that owns the Ames brand name? Zero source revealed… come on guys…
I worked at Ames Department Store from 1993 to 2002. I would love to see this happen but I got a feeling that this is a hoax. I really hope I am wrong.
No I believe it really is true I've seen progress & changes made on that website & a lot more information come out I thought it was a little weird at first too however I was excited I've heard that they want to open a two story flagship store in Syracuse I've also heard ames was very good to work for
@Eddie Lampert I feel the same way, still what would anybody have to gain from making this up? The Ames website was deactivated for a little while it's back up and running. I just don't know what to think for sure either way.
It's too good to be true. I doubt this will actually happen. It's like when they said KB toys was coming back several years ago...well look how that went :/
