frozen7313 said:no that one is staying open.
the reason why bloomies is coming to south coast is because of the recent (kinda old now) merger between rob-may and federated (who owns macy's, bloomingdales, and a few others across the nation under different names). since then, federated has closed almost all their rob-may stores, and turned them into macy's stores if there are none nearby, macy's men [or women, or home] if there's an existing macy's in the same mall, or bloomingdales for the higher end market malls (like south coast and fashion valley in SD).
the rob-may in westminster mall was closed, turned into regular macy's, and the building that macy's used to be in is gonna be a Target (i think. i'm not sure. but that's GHETTO!)
