ITS NOT CLOSING IN 2006 ITS JUST CHANGING NAMES!!!!!!!!!
Um...surely if Big N and G. Fox can be on this forum, then so can Filene's. It is most definitley going to be a closed chain. The corporation is being sold to another, and that corporation will be changing the entire store to Macy's. Not just the name, but the layout, culture, selection, everything.
Come Christmas 2006, Filene's will be a closed book. (Unless we go through a drawn-out Filene's-Macy's, Macy's-Filene's conversion...)
Some Filene's will be put up for sale. In many places, malls have both Filene'e and Macy's. So Federated will sell some locations, meaning closings.
At the Maine Mall, Filene's will close and the store will become available. Macy's is already there in a former Jordan Marsh..
so i guess its ok that i posted this i mean tehy are closing but not till 2006 and there was a Lord & Taylor form in the closed stores section to so yea

yea the danbury mall witch has a Macys in it along with filenes i gues that ones gonna close to but wouldent Bloomingdales move in there???
Same with Crossgates. Filenes will close in 2006, and there is already a Macys there in the old Jordan Marsh. Also, Crossgates recently lost Lord and Taylor, so now two anchors are out, at one end of the mall. Bloomingdales must move in!!!

like i sed the mall lost Jordan Marsh and Caldor and im sure bloomingdales will fill the vacant spot and a mall that big im sure something will move in and its a great mall heh
The Caldor spot was filled 4 years ago with Best Buy on the Upper Level, and H&M on the Lower Level. The H&M space was actually a DSW Shoe Warehouse at first, before moving down by JCPenney.

o wow that took awile do u have any pics ?????
oops, I meant 5 to 6 years ago. Best Buy opened in 1999, and the DSW Store moved in the lower level in 2000. DSW moved by JCPenney in 2001, and that's when H&M went in. And, I have no pics of the former Caldor. I wish I did though :(
Macy's moved in in 96, right after Jordan Marsh closed. I believe all they did was change the name. I don't believe they made any radical changes to the store layout and appearance.

Since you asked - here's the best I can do:
These two shots were taken 2/26/99 and 2/27/99 at Crossgates - obviously the intent was to photograph the climbing wall being assembled or dissasembled (for a Boy Scout show), but a bit of Caldor's managed to slip into the background. By the way - it was also an interesting way to be in the mall until 2 or 3 am (note the 1st shot the door is partially closed on the 1st level).

No more (that I know of) - I looked at all the pictures from this bunch and these were the 2 that showed Caldor best (still not well, but as noted I was taking the pictures of the climbing wall being assembled and Caldor just happened to sneak into the shot - others had just the lettering after it was turned off since we were there 'till about 2am).
I might also mention that we did the wall the following year as well, and stored the parts (scaffolding) in an unused part of the (by then) former Caldor 1st floor. Also borrowed a couple leftover pieces (one was a rolling cart with an enclosed part underneath, and I think some shelf or something) to use in our setup (but, unfortunately didn't get to keep them) - not sure if they were actually Caldor or just stored there.
Woah BillyGr....awesome pics man!!!! I haven't seen that Caldor in years! I forgot what it even looked like! I go to Albany all the time..I love it there!
Dude, you are so AWESOME!!!!

CRYSTAL MALL
I worked at the Crystal Mall Filene's. It was the smallest of the May Corporation at 90,000 square feet. It was so small it DOES NOT SELL luggage, appliances, china, silverwear, electronics, furniture, or most table linens. I worked in the Home Department during summer and Christmas seasons and worked in Men's Furnishings during another summer. Many angry shoppers expected the store to have the same departments as a NORMAL Filene's. I had to refer to them to other Filene's stores, to purchase items on the Internet, or just walk down to Macy's.
They did redo the outside of the store since I worked there several years ago but the inside is pretty much the same. I know there was talk ten years ago about expanding the store but it never happened. There really was no place else in the mall that the store could open up a Home & Men's Store. They did this up at Buckland Hills Mall, West Farms Mall, and Enfield Mall. Corporate often sent the store much more shipments than the store could sell so the store sent shipments to Westfarms and Buckland that have stores so large that they often do not recieve enough merchandise to fill up all their space.
SAY BYE TO FILENE'S
The way I understand it the Filene's name will fade away and stores will slowly convert to Macy's. The company promises not to lay off associates and to just move associates to the Macy's stores in the area but I cant really see that happening.
MEMORABALIA
I have an old deactivated Filene's swipe card used at their time clocks identifying Store #82 Waterford and an old Filene's badge with a Gold Star, one associates earn for excellent customer service. They may be worth something someday when Filene's fades into the woodwork.
LESS STORES LESS CHOICES
In the end the closure of Filene's clearly shows that the marketplace is getting smaller. Less stores is less choices. Filene's was like any other fancy department store. It was expensive but if you wait for a sale with coupons you will get a really good deal better than the discount stores since Filene's prides itself on quality merchandise though some of their merchandise I dont really like but it is all brand name.

I believe Westfarms Filene's will become Macy's. The mall does not currently have a Macy's. I'm curious whether Macy's will take over both the Main Filene's and the Men's Filene's since the store recently expanded into a vacant anchor store. Most likely Macy's will take over both.

I heard there was another filene's in the rhode island mall. I heard it closed 1997 and was G. fox.
Rhode Island Mall had a G.Fox on the opposite side of the mall from Sears. They converted it to Filene's even though Warwick Mall only a few miles away also had a Filene's which was much larger. They shut down the Filene's and the mall used the upper level as a community room. They then sold it the lower level to Wal-Mart and upper level to Kohl's. Neither store has a mall entrance and requires people to leave the mall and walk up the sidewalk. Wal-Mart is near the mall exit on that side of the mall but the trek to Kohl's is much easier via car. Doing this hurt the mall since the only remaining anchor is Sears and most stores that had duplicate stores here and Warwick Mall closed their RI Mall location. RI Mall is listed on deadmalls.com since so many of the smaller stores are vacant and they dont even have drywall over them. Looks kinda erie. Especially since it is two floors and the end that used to have Filene's has drywall with a message telling mall walkers to use the mall exit to access Wal-Mart. I heard talk that Stop and Shop wanted to take over the small store part of the mall and then Sears would only have an outdoor entrance. Already when Wal-Mart and Kohl's came in they took over more of the mall than the portion Filene's had, they took over the former food court. Sears renovated their store a few years ago and they have no store at Warwick Mall so it appears they arent going anywhere for now. Providence Place Mall hurt both Warwick and Rhode Island Malls.

Actually it is one of the stores listed to become Bloomingdale's, but there is a bloomingdale's in the mall. But it doesn't make sense as bloomingdale's is nearby and filene's was good enough to become macy's.

Several Filene's stores were upgraded in the past several months like Buckland Hills, Connecticut Post, etc. Do you think Macy's will close these stores down and "re-do" them or will the transition be more like how Macy's bought Jordan Marsh and pretty much left the "feel" of the store the same? Kind of silly for Filene's to do work on their stores with renovation and expansion projects after last August when they knew their store would be Macy's.

Another anchor away?
Lord & Taylor sale could change mall's look
By Robert Gold
THE NEWS-TIMES
DANBURY ? In less than two weeks, Filene's will start its final round of sales before closing at Danbury Fair mall. And another momentous change could be just around the corner.
Federated Department Stores announced last week it's selling all 55 Lord & Taylor stores, which includes a location in the Danbury mall. Depending on the buyer, the store could continue on or meet the fate of Filene's.
By the end of the year, two of the mall's five anchor stores could be gone.
What happens next at the mall?
Currently, all five anchor stores ? including Sears, JC Penney and Macy's ? are department stores. While mall officials weren't talking Monday, some economic observers think possible replacements for Filene's and Lord & Taylor might not be traditional department stores.
Possibilities include large specialty stores such as Burlington Coat Factory, a movie theater multiplex or several restaurants.
"It could end up being a different way of looking at anchor space," said Stephen Bull, president of the Greater Danbury Area Chamber of Commerce.
Bull said the mall's popularity should entice new tenants.
Drawing its base from New York and western Connecticut, the 180-store mall attracts an estimated 10 million people every year. It's widely considered one of the most profitable malls in the region.
According to research on the mall's Web site, the average household income of Danbury area residents is more than $112,000, compared to roughly the $65,000 nationwide average.
"It's always been a successful mall," said Fred Maidment, an associate professor of management at Western Connecticut State University.
The changes at Danbury Fair mall started when Federated Department Stores bought May Department Stores last fall. May had owned Filene's and the somewhat more upscale Lord & Taylor.
Federated, which owns Macy's, decided to close seven Filene's, including the Danbury locations. The 40 others are being converted into Macy's stores.

Federated spokesman Jim Sluzewski said closing sales will began at the Danbury Filene's starting Jan. 29. When the merchandise runs out, it will close. No buyer has been picked yet, he said.
Most of the 270 employees have or will be offered jobs elsewhere, company officials have said.
Sluzewski said the Filene's locations could possibly be sold to different owners. But Federated wants to sell the Lord & Taylor stores as one package he said.
Federated officials said they are selling Lord & Taylor because they want to focus on their other department stores, Macy's and Bloomingdales.
Sluzewski said the 70,000 square-foot Danbury Lord & Taylor is too small for a full department store. Macy's occupies about 241,000 square feet of the 1.2 million-square-foot mall. Filene's takes up about 172,000 square-feet.
Sluzewski said Federated would even consider selling to competitors. "That's not out of the question. We are talking to retailers, we are talking to developers," he said.
Several observers have said more upscale retailers like Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue could fill the department store void.
Shoppers were surprised to hear Monday that the future of Lord & Taylor might be up in the air.
"I like it (Lord & Taylor) because it has higher end brands you can't get at other department stores," said Brookfield High School senior Anna Goddard. She likes the brand Free People. "(The store) has nice tank tops and sweaters."
Goddard said she wasn't sure what type of business she would choose to fill the vacant mall space, but she said a theater would be a nice idea.
Her father, Dean Goddard of Millbrook, N.Y., said he could tell Lord & Taylor was going downhill because the quality of merchandise over Christmas was "mediocre." He bought some Christmas presents there.
"Lord & Taylor used to mean quality," Goddard said of a chain that debuted in 1826. It always "has been associated with high quality, the name, more so than Macy's or Filene's. It ranks up there with Brooks Brothers in sales and now it's gone."
While another department store is a possibility, more and more malls are turning to other stores.
According to a 2005 report from the International Council of Shopping Centers, an industry trade group, about one-fifth of mall anchor stores are not department stores. Alternatives include cinemas, sporting good stores, large-scale restaurants and discounters like Wal-Mart or Target.
Malls are focusing less on department stores because several mainstays, such as Montgomery Ward and Alexander's, went out of business in recent years.
"I think you'll see someone take their space," WestConn's Maidment said of Lord & Taylor and Filene's. "I think you'll see a more specialized operation take the space than a general, traditional stores take that space."
Maidment said it's harder for traditional department stores to stay competitive as more retailers, ranging from Wal-Mart to JC Penney, offer higher-priced name brands.
He suggested that stores with more focused inventories, such as L.L. Bean or Burlington Coat Factory, could be options.
"It won't be going head to head with Macy's," he said.

I agree, from what I have heard of the Danbury fair mall, burlington coat would not fit the shoppers clientelle. but boscov's is in new york and pa, but danbury is near new york. Boscov's is like an upscale JC PEnny.
It would be nice if they put in Bon Ton. Something different than what we already have in Connecticut. Connecticut seems to put five million locations of one store because people are too lazy to drive 20 miles out of their way to go some place better.
I used to work at Filene's and this is my old Filene's badge. I won a star for customer service.
I used to work at Filene's Store #82, Crystal Mall, Waterford, CT. It was 90,000 square feet and I worked in home department for a while as well as men's sportswear and men's furnishings. This store will close since there is a Macy's in the Crystal Mall already. I wonder what will happen to this Filene's because it is pretty small though it is 2 floors and has two outside entrances on the lower level and two mall entrances. It would be difficult for the store to expand due to meeting parking regulations, though it could be done if the mall permieter road were moved up a bit.
Cyrstal Mall's current anchor stores include: Sears, JC Penney, Filene's and Macy's so the new fourth anchor to replace Filene's may not be a traditional department store either, just like was mentioned for Danbury Square Mall. Crystal Mall is owned by Simon. There is no Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue in the area though several other high-class stores were built across the street at Waterford Commons. There is already a Target near the mall not far from JC Penney and there is a Burlington Coat Factory in New London. Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Borders, iParty are all over at Waterford Commons as well. And Wal-Mart already has a Supercenter on the other end of town. There is a large 9 screen theatre over at Cross Roads but last time it was redone was the 1980's and they have traditional seating.
This area has a high average income because of Pfizer, Dow Chemical, Millstone, and Electric Boat.
I guess you are supposed to turn this in when you quit but since I was contingent at one time they never asked for it back. A piece of history.
this filene's in stamford ct closed a year ago and is 170,000 square feet. the mal was built in 1982.

January 29, 2006 is when the sales start. I wonder when they close
I talked to an associate at Filene's Crystal Mall who told me originally it was set to close in March but they moved it up to April. The children's department and part of the woman's sportswear department was closed off with six-foot walls with signs saying "Pardon us as we prepare for our clearance event". The store already has Macy's merchandise "The Marketplace" summer silverware collection next to Filene's "Summer Country" collection. Their seasonal department has both leftover Christmas stuff and summer stuff and there were clothes galore there. Im sure they are getting all the clothes and merchandise Macy's wants rid of especially brands Macy's doesnt sell that Filene's did. I noticed certain merchandise like some jewlery, purses, picture frames, and comforters have been removed. Im sure Macy's already took the good stuff out of the store and put it in their store. Only the associates at Filene's that have been loyal to the company and have high senority will be offered jobs at Macy's. Most will either retire or get a severance package.

I went to the maine mall 2 days ago and the filene's is 30-40 percent off.
Crystal Mall Filene's had its last day of sales on Monday, March 20. Talking to a former co-worker, I found out the merchandise went quicker than what the company thought. They will spend the rest of the week cleaning up the place, bringing select fixtures to the Macy's store, and moving the computer registers to Macy's since Macy's has older registers. The entire lower level was bare except fixtures, oriental rugs, free gift boxes with Filene's name on it which I took several, and wooden hangers. The upper level was totally empty except for some fine jewlery. Much of the floor was sectioned off though I went through those sections anyway and you could see all the bare walls, and bare floors. The mall doors on the upper level are already closed forcing customers to enter through the lower level. Probably so they could go past the "New Department" signs advertise since the store never had oriental rugs before but I believe most did not sell because of the price even though they were on clearance.
Looked very sad. Now Crystal Mall in Waterford loses an anchor. Who will replace Filene's? My co-worker heard rumors of Barnes and Noble or a movie theatre. But says he isnt sure they are true.

Customers snap up final bargains at Filene's
Kennebec Journal
SOUTH PORTLAND ? What does it really mean when "everything must go"? It means naked, hairless mannequins tucked away behind yellow caution tape. It means half-price on fixtures, allowing anyone to take home their own jewelry display case or watch carousel. It means a few bucks for hangers.
At Filene's at the Maine Mall on Monday, it meant taking one last look and trying to find that one last bargain....

Photo of front of Filene's attached....Macy's will move from the other end of the mall to this location.
Three-story Macy's anyone?
This Macy's will close in Warwick Mall as it will relocate its store in the old Filene's. Funny since this Macy's is 3 floors and the old Filene's is only 2 floors. Although this Macy's never really used their space to its fullest and had "empty" areas and never enough associates to cover half the store.

Here's a G.Fox pricesticker, which was a store later acquired by the May's department store group in the early 1990's. Most stores became May's division Filene's.
Here's an early Filene's gift box which resembled G. Fox's old gift boxes with the white dots.
That G.Fox tag and the Filene's box must have been pretty standard May Co. material in the 90's as I recall Kaufmann's having the same things. It must date back to even the very late 80's as I remember Sibley's having bags with the white dots just like that Filene's box. Kaufmann's used a tag just like that G. Fox tag up until about 4 or 5 years ago.
The Filene's at the Palisades Center is still open. :)
That's the only location I know of that is still open. Anybody else know of anymore?
Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Middletown, and the Rotterdam Square location in Albany are the only ones I know of that are still open.

the stores around fileen's closing?! Does this mean the danbury fair mall is going down?! it is the biggest mall in CT. I have not been to the mall before, but have heard about it! what will come in the filene's? I hope this mall is not dying
mall security not caring is odd, but then danbury has less than 100,000 people and when you get to cities that have 100,000 people or more, mall security gets more tougher, like I got in trouble in the holyoke mall 3 years ago for taking pictures outside and I got in trouble at the great northern mall in syracuse too!
The Kingston, NY store will officially become Macy's on September 9th.
is taht one closed now? speeking of that i wonder whats gonna happen to the danbury filenes i doubt macys will go into there cxause they have teh biggist store in the malll

no for kingston closing as it does not already have a macy's. when it becomes macy's is when marshall fields is scheduled to become macy's (2 weeks ago I went to the kauffmann's in greece new york and under this white rapping was the new macy's logo).
I still hope something good gones in the one in danbury? will it be nordstrom?
I was helping some friends of my parents move. I was putting stuff from a closet into a moving box..

Here's the now vacant Filene's in Crystal Mall in Waterford, Connecticut. There happens to be a Macy's in this mall which might explain why this location is now closed. Note the heavily 1970's style of the entrance!
Here's another angle from the downstairs entrance. The upstairs looked the same but I tried keeping a low profile so I settled for the few images I got.

the filene's closed sign on the filene's home and men store in the maine mall in south portland
I saw an ad in one of the local papers that Filene's will become Macy's on either September 15 or September 16. (I forget which).
In what mall? The Maine Mall already has a Macy's? :huh:
All the Filene's that aren't closing down due to co-existing in the same mall as Macy's.

the 60,000 sq.ft. filene's in newington nh in the fox run mall and it is old school.
the one in pittsfield / lanesboro mass in the mall that opened in 1994 by replacing steigers.
Here's an update to the Kingston store. It will be Macy's on September 9th.
Close up of logo. Since this picture was taken, the Macy's logo has been put up underneath the Filene's tarp.
Mall entrance. The Macy's logo is under the tarp, surrounded by sign framing.
Older shot from when it was still Filene's.
Here's the Rotterdam Square location as of August 5th. The one Filene's tarp is gone, exposing the new Macy's logo.
Somewhat blurry closeup of new Macy's logo.
Inside shot. Interestingly, the logo for this store is white instead of black(see tip of "y" sticking out from under the Filene's tarp).

Did this store open in the late 1980's? Crystal Mall Filene's did and had the old school logo until 2 years before Federated bought the chain.
The Filene's at Crystal Mall was 90,000 square feet, I bet the newington nh store was wicked small.....was it just a filene's home store or a regular filene's?

It opened with the mall in 1983.
Although it was very small, it was in fact a full-service Filene's. Federated has retained the store, I believe it's a home store or similar now. The mall's other Macy's, a former Jordan Marsh, is around 55,000-60,000 sq. ft. as well.... even together they don't equal the square footage of a standard Macy's.

Amesman, I'm curious about what kind of camera you use to secure indoor photos. The camera appears to be a champion of very good quality indoor shots.

I use a Kodak Easyshare CX7430. It is very good for inside shots and outdoor shots. Outdoor shots usually don't work inside a moving car when it is either a)really hazy, b) really cloudy and rainy, and c) when it is dark.
Here's a very old trailer I found at the Westfield Meriden (Square) a few months back when it was already Macy's. This mall never featured this vintage 70s-era Filene's logo.
That trailer(or one just like it) used to always be at the store here in Kingston. Never thought to grab a picture of it though. Doh!
I just that exact same design trailer tonight, probably the same one, at my local Westfarms Mall. Meriden Square is probably a good 20 minutes, along the same route so it's probably that same one. I'll have to get a shot of it if it's still there tomorrow.

That logo on the trailer reminds me of the sign of Nathan Frank's Sons, a local department store here in Ogdensburg, NY that closed in 1960. Here's an old picture of the store building and you can see the similarity in the sign above the store entrance.
Here's a vacant Filene's Home Store / Service Center in Manchester, CT. It's right next to the JCPenney Logistics Center. I reckon this place got axed ensuing the Macy's buyout. Swung by today and took a few.
The label scar is rich. You can see this building off I-291 but you can't access it from there! You actually have to trail a while off the highway as its adjacent the Tolland Turnpike.
Check out what I stumbled across this morning on my way out of the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester... a vintage Filene's trailer with the 70s art deco logo!
I think this one makes rounds at all the local malls as I've seen what I believe to be the same one at Westfarms, Meriden Square and here.
anyone have any news about whats going into the danbury location ????
