Illuminations store in Anaheim Downtown Disney to close
 

Yankee Candle announced it is closing all of the Illuminations stores. They'll probably have some good closeout deals.

Sorry to see them go. We used to get some cool halloween candles and accessories from them.

I think there will be more vacancies in Downtown Disney soon.

More and more tenants just can't afford the rents there. Hope the stores get new tenants soon, or DtD will turn into GardenWalk!

I'm amazed they could stay in business this long.

And I've been saying that about Department 56 for years ... only to find it gone when I visited DTD last weekend!!


I knew in my heart Illumnations would be next. I mean candles? In 2009?

Candle stores went out of shopping malls 7 or 8 years ago.


Let's start a death pool for DTD businesses! When will Naples go under? Oh please let Naples go under!

Saks is closing the whole Libby Lu chain by the end of the month.

I had no idea that Yankee Candle owned Illuminations. I HATE the scents at YV but really like Illuminations. Go figure.

I may have to make a trip over there to see if they have any deals on Pomegranate candles. Love that scent.

What other businesses are there in DTD? That overpriced clothing store that carries "resort wear"; the Quicksilver stores; the scary baby store; Fossil; Something Silver; Build-a-bear....is there anything else? What a bore it has turned out to be.

Bummer. I love Illuminations. I hate YC.

I usually get better deals online for Illuminations too.

Damn. I loved that store.

I also loved Department 56. :(

I heard by word of mouth that Quicksilver and the Disney couture shop are closing too.

Just in time for the new expansion!!

OMG, yes, that waaaay overpriced Resort Wear store that I can't believe is still in business.

Surprised about Build-a-Whore ... but I guess if they're closing the whole chain, one well-performing store won't make a dent.

Speaking of Build-a ... didn't the Build-a-Bear fad wear out four years ago? Why is that place still around?

I like Fossil stuff, but can't afford it. That's a far cry from the total MEH I am about stuff in every other DTD store, including WOD.


Thank god for the bars!!!
