I've noticed the same thing too. I think it is because of the economy, and it's a prudent move. I'd rather see them scale back their offerings instead of going out of business, like many other retailers are going to do. </p> <p>I have $60 worth of reward cards and I'm hoping to get up to the mall this weekend to make good use of them (they can be used towards sale items). Probably a wise idea to use up any gift or reward cards now, because you never know. </p> <p>Jcrew leaves me puzzled. They are not discounting and they are expanding their offerings. It's a bold move in this economy. It'll either pay off or backfire on them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-1#post-35954 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:33:08 +0000 nancy 35954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone else feel like they haven't had many new styles out in awhile? I used to love the store and got a nice gift cert. there several months ago. Have not used any of it thus far, just nothing there that really thrills me. </p> <p>I feel like JCrew has dramatically improved their offerings and I recently started shopping Anthro. and JCrew on line (I live far away from good shopping) m so when I walk into B. Rep. it all looks so blah and boring. I know its a more "basic" store but even those styles seem less interesting this fall. </p>
