Saks Closing Fashion Valley Store
I worked at/for Saks in Mission Valley from 1988-1994. It was a fun store with cool people. It was were the Bed, Bath and Beyond is now across from Seau's. The old Lajolla store was on Girard and the Men's store was separate as you had to walk outside. They closed in 1993! The MVC store closed in 1994 and re-opened in the I. Magnin space in 1995. I also worked for Saks back in Boston from 1986-1988. The company was awesome back then. It completely changed in the mid-90's. The typical customer was alienated by the fact that Saks had replaced many seasoned associates with a younger staff and their service went south. Many memories and good friends from the old days!!!!— May 8, 2010 10:18 a.m.
