I’m not sure if you are actually familiar with the layout of any given store,
but there is a vast difference in the two southern California stores.
Downtown Disney is a stylish store with lots of sculptures, but is miserably
cramped and difficult to shop in. Glendale is the exact opposite - it is
very spare and bland but it’s easy to get at the actual stock.
So, which route will the new stores be taking? More personality or ease of
shopping but spare...or each store will be unique to its location?

It should be interesting to see. The Potomac Mills store (BrickFest? Anyone?
Anyone?) shipped its big sculptures of the DC monuments to LL Deutschland about
4 or 5 months ago, and just within the past month got a remodelling in line with
the yellow color scheme of the new employee uniform. Although there are still
some sculptures up near the front of the store, the Potomac Mills store now
seems more like what you said...spare and bland. In addition, although they seem
now to have more space at the cash registers.....always a crowding point,
especially during BrickFest, it looks like they’ve turned the back 10 feet or so
of the store into a staging area. Perhaps it’s due to inadequate space in the
stock room,or maybe it’s due to inadequate stock for the floor space they
have....but it seems rather odd to me now to have that much floor space taken up
by the staging area.....I don’t know, but considering the outlet only gets stuff
the other stores don’t want, seems like they have way more floor space than they
need. It will be interesting to see what they do with the Mclean store. The
Paramus Park store, which I visited a couple moths ago, seemed to have a nice
setup....although it didn’t have huge sculptures, it seemed neither spare nor
bland.
I’m sure it also depends largely on what space they get....Paramus Park is in a
corner, whereas Potomac Mills is long and rectangular.
Play On!!!
