[raginberriodoom]

oh shit i'm excited!

who's going to go on opening day?

[likelife]

i will definitely be there

[likelife]

passed by at 11'ish and it didn't look like they were going to open today. there was still construction going on and (what appeared like) the register counter sitting on the sidewalk.

yuck, that sucks.

[ryegb]

yuck, that sucks.

Hopefully they will turn a profit with the LA store.

I can just imagine all the friggin guido's being upset that nothing in the store is embroidered, ripped or torn, garment dyed or appliqued with some metal.

the apc LA store is really turning into a joke...i heard from a few retailers that the APC management is really hard to deal with...

[likelife]

"embroidered, ripped or torn, garment dyed or appliqued with some metal"

too funny...that is trendy los angeles style, after all.

I think the majority of sales will most likely be from young women.

They sent me a postcard on monday about the store being open come June 13th. Way to plan a grand opening morons.

[josephr]

[likelife]

i wish i was cool enough to be invited to their party...

Just swung by and they still were not open, but according to the staff, they will be opening at 2 today. Then again, I still didn't see a front door in place, so we shall see.

I think the location is a little weird (as it is south of melrose), and you wouldnt even know that the store was there if you werent looking for it. I don't know how well this place is going to do, but I do know the boat shoes I saw looked real nice.

[sleazie ninja number 47]

sorry please delete double post

[jet]

I'll be up there later maybe those fuckers will be open.

[hollaforadolla]

Just came back from there. Its pretty much everything you expected. Pretty much the entire APC line. No surprises here. I tried looking for the grey raws but they didnt have it.

The workers though are great. The service is awesome. Id definently go back once the new season rolls around.

One thing I would watch out for is random stains. Some shirts have random blotches all over them.

[azn8oi]

wow. so theyre opennnnnnnnnn.

thanks to sleezie and holla for the ups.

[sleazie ninja number 47]

but do they really need 8 people working in that space? Fer fuck sake, I've googled prostates bigger than that store.

(+rep to the employee rockin the visvims.)

[marquischacha]

Drove by saturday afternoon and they still weren't open. Looked like they were having some sort of APC employee powow. I too was surprsised that it was so small. It doesn't look like a clothing boutique at all. Complete antithesis of the Theory store on the corner across the street hehe.

[Brooklyn Zoo]

so anyone been in here recently? so far it seems like its a thumbs down...

[azn8oi]

i've there twice already. it really is whatevers, especially in terms of stock.

[jet]

Meaning they don't have much of the fall line-up yet or what they have is crap?

I'm sure it will be lovely soon.

[sleazie ninja number 47]

Croft store is too claustraphobic. They have 9 employees working 350 sq ft all trying to sell you something. I prefer the unobtrusive attitude of the Mercer store employees/experience much better.

[GoodHustle]

Very underwhelming in terms of stock. It only took 5 minutes to look through everything. Anyone know when the fall line is coming in?
