The large Macy's store at Union Square in San Francisco did the same thing, moving the hosiery department to one of the top floors. I always check it out when I visit San Francisco, because they have a large selection. On my last visit, I couldn't find it on my own and had to ask directions. The woman I spoke to was very friendly, and didn't seem surprised at all that a man might be looking for the hosiery department.
ReplyDeleteI think this must be a direct result of a decrease in sales of hosiery. They're using the most prominent locations in the store for the most popular products, which seems appropriate to me. Of course there is a kind of chicken and egg effect. Moving the department could itself reduce sales.
I was under the impression that sales had increased, but I guess not.
ReplyDelete1 thing that I found interesting, is that when they moved the hosiery upstairs, they used the space to sell purses, but the purses were so spread out, that I do not think of the space being well used. Maybe purses sell really well.
Pacific Passions in Pacifica has a fairly good hoisery selection. They are new, right across from the Post Office on Manor drive in the old Bearly Worn consignment store.
