She moved yesterday from NYC to Portland, Ore. Sounds like she made a good decision. She had been looking to find a similar job in supply chain management for about a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1494770 Thu, 21 May 2015 23:30:11 +0000 annabelle 1494770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a business analyst, but it makes sense in our economy and the demand for "fast fashion," that LOFT stores would be doing better than Ann Taylor. Ann Taylor styles are virtually replicated by what's available at Banana Republic, who has a bigger footprint. With the other end of the price spectrum, consumers appreciate a store that is more consistent and curated than the Rack, yet more budget conscious than AT.</p> <p>It will be interesting to watch what happens under new ownership. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493747 Tue, 19 May 2015 22:58:09 +0000 Anonymous 1493747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is news! &nbsp;I will be at the mall on Friday and will make it a point to walk by both stores to check status. &nbsp;</p> <p>I used to love Ann Taylor, but bought very little over the course of these past two years because I got tired of all the sales gimmicks. &nbsp;In time I didn't even bother to stop by the store. &nbsp;I doubt I will miss it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493729 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:49:03 +0000 columbine(erin) 1493729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just becoming acquainted with Loft and hoping it doesn't change too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493721 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:34:01 +0000 Anonymous 1493721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was at the mall today and the AT was vacant but the Loft was still in business. I will miss it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493716 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:27:43 +0000 freeda 1493716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that means that I can use my Dress Barn card at Ann Taylor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493712 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:20:26 +0000 karymk 1493712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, did not know. &nbsp;My AT closed too Susie!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493707 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:04:14 +0000 Susie 1493707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My AT closed recently...I wonder if that was related to the sale. I've not been a fan of&nbsp;for quite a while now. I think the quality used to be so much better.&nbsp;This spring I bought several pieces at LOFT so I hope they stick around....plus it's&nbsp;about a mile from my house so super convenient too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493702 Tue, 19 May 2015 20:24:01 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1493702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they've done a good job with both DB and LB in recent years, balancing trendiness with affordability. So I'm optimistic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493700 Tue, 19 May 2015 20:22:00 +0000 chadya 1493700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they have been on the market or looking for a buyer for a while.<br />This company has its headquarters in my state, which could be good for employment here </p> <p><a href="http://www.northjersey.com/news/business/ascena-to-acquire-ann-taylor-1.1337489" rel="nofollow">http://www.northjersey.com/new.....-1.1337489</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493699 Tue, 19 May 2015 20:18:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1493699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, link seems to be wonky, I'm on my phone. <a href="http://fortune.com/2015/05/18/ann-taylor-loft-sold-ascena/" rel="nofollow">http://fortune.com/2015/05/18/.....ld-ascena/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-sold#post-1493698 Tue, 19 May 2015 20:15:57 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1493698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The parent company of Ann Taylor and Loft is going to be bought by the company that now owns Dressbarn and Lane Bryant: <a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/invivoclarity/05/19/business/dealbook/ann-taylor-parent-to-be-bought-for-2-16-billion.html?referrer=&#038;_r=0" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.nytimes.com/invi.....&#038;_r=0</a> </p>
