the end of an era :: social study is closing its doors

[ican]

[font=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][font=Century Gothic,ITC Avant Garde,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Social Study will be closing its doors at the end of this month.

[/font][/font]Unfortunately the times of our economy and the current state of trends in the sneaker industry have brought us to this decision. It has not been an easy decision to make. However, we have had a good run here at the store. When we opened in November 2003, we were one of the first stores in the tri-state area to provide exclusive sneakers to our customers. Over the last 6 years we have been featured in tons of magazines, newspapers and even named "one of the top sneaker stores of the world." Times have been tough over the last couple of years though. As sad as it seems, all good things must come to an end.

We just want to send out a huge thanks to our customers for all of their support over the years. We have made lots of friends and we will truly miss having the store as a place where we can all hang.

[font=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][font=Century Gothic,ITC Avant Garde,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]If you have a gift card or a store credit now is the time to use it!![/font][/font]



We are marking everything in the shop down as of today to 50% off and it will remain so until the end of the month.



Come and shop! Stop through say what's up and scoop up the latest and greatest for Christmas.

Once again we just want to say thanks for everything.

Wow, that's a blower. Great store and even better employees. As far as I was concerned they were what a shop should be. Always felt like I was welcome andI always got treated the same whether I bought a t-shirt or bought multiple pairs of shoes.

Even though I work in FDK, I've only been to the store once. It's a cool shop. It's unfortunate that the econmoy has claimed another victim.

I believe there was a thread about Mom and Pop shops, and someone made a forecast, that Most mom and pop shops would be closing soon due to the economy.
