I visited this GT location recently after not being in for 5-7 years and I must say it has changed drastically. For people who shop there regularly they may have not realized the slow decay but I was extremely shocked at what I was seeing. Firstly they reconfigured the store so it is no longer an open concept which I do not particularly like as you are forced to walk all the way around clothing areas that you may not necessarily be interested in. Secondly, with this new configuration it seems like the store is a lot smaller and holds a lot less product. I felt that before they had a lot more room for shelves and isles which were packed with all sorts of products and more of them. Now it seems that they are focusing more on showcasing fewer items rather than focusing on having more items at better prices. That leads me to my last point which is the prices have gone up. I understand that in 6 or 7 years the prices have gone up overall but GT to me always meant value and now I feel like they are no longer as competitive as before. I feel like they have to charge more to keep the doors open due to the poor design and lack of products they used to have. I wish I had pictures of the store before but they should go back to what they used to be.
