Who will fill the empty Robinsons-May in the mall?
It's great news that the Valley Plaza is close to finding a replacement for the Robinsons-May store.
As the mall's marketing director says, the new tenant, "represents an opportunity for the future of not just the mall, but the community as well." Let's not read too much into that hyperbolic statement. Hopefully no one believes our gang problems will be solved if a Nordstrom's moves to the mall or our horrible air will be no more should Calvin Klein sets up shop in the Plaza. But, Bakersfield has come on leaps and bounds fashion-wise in the last decade or so. The preponderance of high-priced boutiques in town must mean there are fashion-conscious residents among us (or just those with money to burn), while the impending arrival of Banana Republic (April 30 in the mall) is also a step in the right direction. Who do you think will fill the empty Robinsons-May? 6 comments from 5 users

Ikea would be great, but probably not going to happen :( And with Banana Republic coming, it is not such a big deal. The clothes are overpriced and are plain. They are just Gap clothes with a larger price tag. I don't know why everyone is so excited about it. I would be excited if a L'Occitane came to Bako or a Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn or something like that. Banana Republic is just another Old Navy in expensive clothing. Nothing to go crazy about people :)

Y'know, I'd settle for a "scratch and dent" outlet center at the Grapevine Ikea warehouse

Me too, RF. It's so hard to find a place to get a quality dent anymore. ;)IKEA or Target Greatland would be just fine. posted by

I wore Banana Republic in the 80's.....it's so 80's to me. They were at an 8 story MALL in Chicago. Yeah, dadgumit, why don't they have a scratch and dent???? posted by

It would be in the best interest of the city to have a "Lazer Tag Strip Club" put there. Think of it, it would have Lazer Tag......and it would have strippers!!! What more could you want!?
