My wife told me yesterday; seems every day brings new bankruptcies and closings. So sad. Thanks for linking the article with the list. I had two approx equidistant from me, one shut down last round but it looks like the other has again been spared. I don’t shop there too often but do like having them available.

I also heard this yesterday. Unfortunate but not surprising. I remember my first visit to a Sur La Table store years ago in Seattle.

Also not surprised. Seems all similar businesses with many locations are shutting at least half their stores. Ours is on the list. I have only stopped in a couple times. I need so little. It was handy once locating something on-line and needing to see it in person.

This was my favorite toy store, so I am not happy to have heard that my local Sur la Table will be one of the ones not reopening.

My closest store is closing, but that's not a surprise; the mall itself is being redeveloped. The next closest will be open, yay! And, it's in a nice, outdoorsy oriented shopping centre. Picture an enclosed mall, but open-air, no roof. Fresh air!

It seems like they were having issues before the pandemic, and now it has been too much. They may have had trouble adjusting to the online world, whereas Williams-Sonoma has made the transition easier. Per the article, they may sell off stores to a private equity firm. It seems like a lot of the stores set to close were in traditional malls.

Ours is a new-ish open fresh air mall type place. Just never saw more than a few people inside.

This is just not going to be easy for any retail venture. Especially the malls.

We need quality veg and protein grown and processed closer to home and clothing and shoes made quality and less of it.

Thus far, the locations I frequent are not on the list. I admit that I don't go there as often as I once did. It seems like many B&M stores have limited their inventory to the point that I end up having to order what I want online anyway. I'd much rather see the quality in person of certain things, but that is often not an option.

I think the locations near me survive on their class schedule which were almost always sold out in the past. I don't know what they are doing now in this time of social distancing.

It's really sad that Westwood and the Americana store are both closing. The Westwood store was large and had a great kitchen for classes or parties.

There are still plenty of other ones to visit, but sad that both Pasadena and Glendale are closing. Cooks in that area will need to travel to find another Sur la Table

The Sur La Table I visit most has been spared. It is a bit out of the way for me and I only visit a few times a year, but I usually come away with goodies each time I visit. Loved to stop in when I was Pasadena, sorry that will no longer be an option.

Two are closing here in Michigan, both in the Detroit area and both in malls. The one in Grand Rapids is apparenty spared, although I haven't gone there in months. I used to go in whenever I went "specialty shopping", but I haven't done that since before Christmas. First the weather prohibited the 100 mile round trip drive, then the pandemic.

The one in Grand Rapids is not in a mall, but it's across the street from one. It is a large stand-alone store and has/had classes in cooking and baking as well as selling cookware. I just don't need much of anything and don't have a place to put more "stuff" for my kitchen, but it didn't stop me from going there anyway!

I have been to the one in El Segundo, and it will be closing😢. I will be much sadder if Surfas has to close, as I go to that store much more often.

As we have none in the MW near us, it won't affect me much. However, I have been known to order from them on line in the past. Especially like their spatulas and wooden spoons ...

A lot of retailers going BK. Sur La Table will probably survive in slimmed down form but the apparel and dept store BKs are likely terminal. It’s 2009 x 2.
