Gap: The Epilogue
For my summer 2018 kickoff uploads beginning Thursday, like many of you, I'll be featuring the retail story of the summer – a pretty easy guess. You can also likely even guess the location (well... for Friday and Saturday, anyway. Thursday will still be special ;) ). So with that in mind, I'm not even going to bother posting a true teaser photo this week, since if I did I'd make the subject even *more* obvious than it already is. Instead, I've chosen to post my final photo of the Southaven Gap FactoryStore, as a bit of an epilogue, so to speak, for that now-complete album.
This shot of the vacant storefront was taken on February 2nd, 2018, the very weekend after the store had closed its doors for good. All of its signage had been removed – including the giant Gap cube on the interior, the main logo on the facade, and the small jut-out sign on the right column of the exterior – and its windows papered over. (With the logo gone, you can now make out the labelscar from this space's previous tenant, Fashion Bug – check it out by zooming in! Pretty neat, huh?)
Thus far, the store has yet to be retenanted, just like the only other vacancy in South Lake Centre, the former Family Christian Store. That said, I saw some work taking place on the latter this week – the old FCS signs have been removed, and it looked like some work was taking place on the interior of that store. Similarly, the paper has since been removed from the former Gap's windows, although I didn't see any work taking place inside there.
Frustratingly, the South Lake Centre site plan hasn't been updated for over a year now, so I've lost my source for leads on new tenants of the shopping center, haha! (Meaning, unfortunately, I have zero clue who may be moving into the old Family Christian space, if anyone.) Nonetheless, I'll do my best to keep an eye on the situation(s) and keep y'all posted...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
