I wonder what they would have done if they didn't get 100 likes.

Either way, its just yet another company jumping through hoops to play the stupid Facebook game. Make sure a bunch of people "like" your post or nobody will see it, unless you pay us a bunch of money.

Hula hoops and hula hoop accessories. They take a cutting edge approach to the industry by offering quality hula hoop products with the young professional adult male in mind.

Seriously?
Re: Westroads Development
A glorified Foot Locker... might just as well be a hula hoop store.

Re: Westroads Development
It is official, 1200 Images, the art & frame store has relocated in Westroads to the Younker's end of the mall to make room for the basketball shoe store, but first the Mattress store is moving into the old art gallery location while they undergo a remodel & expansion into the old Icings/Claires spot.

The Microsoft Specialty Store will offer Windows Phones, Xbox One, Office products and other items.
The new store, opening May 15, will be in the mall's center court on the lower level and occupy a 400-square-feet kiosk, Westroads Senior General Manager Jim Sadler said.

Re: Westroads Development
So it's going to be out in the open area and not an actually retail bay?
Re: Westroads Development
That's a little strange...
Also, from what I've seen, it looks like work is under way where Spencer's, PacSun and another store once were for the incoming H&M.

Re: Westroads Development
That's disappointing. It would have been nice to have a store whee I could pick up a copy of Windows Server 2012 if I needed it.

Re: Westroads Development
That's lame. Microsoft Stores that occupy actual retail bays are very cool stores.

Re: Westroads Development
Sometimes the "Specialty Stores" (kiosks) are a precursor to a full store. The St. Louis Galleria had a kiosk before opening a regular store in the mall a few months later. Hopefully that's the case for Omaha!
It's also kind of a surprising location, since Microsoft tends to open stores very close to Apple stores. Personally, though, I'm glad to see it at Westroads rather than Village Pointe

Re: Westroads Development
That would be great if they actually opened a full store. It's also helpful that Microsoft has offices in Omaha. I'm glad it's not at VP. I haven't seen an outside Microsoft store before...maybe that's why.

Didn't I read in the W-H a few days back that Microsoft was opening a retail store on Central Court?

Re: Westroads Development
The OWH article was about the "Specialty Store," essentially a large kiosk, in Center Court at Westroads.

Re: Westroads Development
They have cleared the center court of all kiosks, most likely to make way for new flooring. It'll be interesting to see if they come back. The gold kiosk down by Younkers is moving into a store front, the old Cricket store near the food court.
Re: Westroads Development
So there won't be as many kiosks staffed by Mossad agents from Israel?

I'm curious if the kiosk is a precursor to a full store at Crossroads once that's completed? Test the market to see if it's feasible here, and then move to a more tech-heavy development close to a university?

There's an idea.

Re: Westroads Development
I know there was talk about a larger Apple Store at Crossroads. Would think that either Apple or Microsoft tries to get an exclusivity clause in their lease.

Re: Westroads Development
Didnt look too far to see if this has been discussed ,but overhaul of the food court in the works. Probably nothing that will light anyones hair on fire.

Microsoft To Open 11 More Specialty Retail Stores In The US
Such kiosk-like stores will happen to sell a limited number of Microsoft related products including Surface tablets and Xbox One consoles among others. Should a location become popular, that particular specialty store could be upgraded to end up as a full retail location.
Re: Westroads Development
*swish!*
Re: Westroads Development
Ok, so the food court changes are a little more than I thought. The plan is to move the entire court to the back side between Younkers and the theater. Current court will get demolished for an undetermined future user.
Re: Westroads Development
So they are entirely moving the food court to make way for a new department store? Do they have someone signed and not disclosing the name or are they just demolishing it in hopes that they can get someone to build there?
Re: Westroads Development
Interesting. Basically where the TGI Friday's was then?

Re: Westroads Development
New food court has been rumored for a while. What I find amusing is that people still go up to Friday's like it's still open! The other rumor is that GGP is going after a very large jewelry store that currently is across West Dodge. Can't see that happening, but been wrong before. It would be interesting to see the gangstas try to hang out in there!
Re: Westroads Development
I thought I heated a rumor the BWW was going to open where TGI Fridays used to be. Am I wrong?

Re: Westroads Development
There may be more to the rumor of the Food Court moving. It seems that some "suits" have been looking around in the back room ceiling at 1200 Images (former location of As Seen on TV store). There are lots of pipes & other infrastructure belonging to Fridays. Hmmmm,very interesting

That would be interesting... Too bad, or maybe not, that it is not centralized. I'd have to weight the positives and negatives for that...

There must be a change design for the Food Court. They are going to do a $4 Mill. redesign of that area.debradomayer wrote:There may be more to the rumor of the Food Court moving.

Re: Westroads Development
So they aren't going to move it the TGI Fridays area.
