Opened November 18th, 2022
The last stop of the day was at the Norfolk Forever 21, which is located in Norfolk Premium Outlets. This was actually my first time ever visiting the outlets, and while I have considered documenting the complex at some point, I've just never taken the time to do so, probably because the area surrounding it is so congested with traffic. It also led me to believe that this would be an outlet store like the Williamsburg location was (R.I.P., I guess), but it turns out that it's a regular Forever 21, though decidedly smaller than the Lynnhaven Mall store I'd just visited. It was a whole lot less busy, too, and while Lynnhaven didn't have any signage indicating when their last day would be, Norfolk had it posted in two locations that they had ten business days left, so by next Saturday they'll be gone. But you sure wouldn't think they were in their final days by looking at the salesfloor, because even at 40% off this store was as fully stocked as I'd imagine it'd ever be, with no areas that looked like they'd been picked over. Like Lynnhaven the store is dominated by women's apparel, with menswear shoved aside to the left and with two dressing rooms that have curtains instead of doors, which is always an odd choice (I remember the Old Navy in Patrick Henry Mall having the same thing and I thought it was odd back then as well). The flooring consists of large tan rectangular tiles, while the warehouse-style ceiling features spotlighting and tube lighting, and an actual fitting room area is in the back right next to the register area. There's not much to take away from here, but it'll most likely be my final time visiting a Forever 21 since the company declared Chapter 11 on Monday and will shutter all remaining stores, not that they would've had any left in Hampton Roads anyways since their three locations were already going out of business. Maybe I'll consider checking out some of the NOVA stores if I'm up that way this spring, but I'm not making any special trips to specially go to them.

The primary reason I wanted to drive to the Southside yesterday was to document the two closing Forever 21 stores, as the window to do so is shrinking now that they're a month into liquidation. I started out at the Lynnhaven Mall store since it was the further of the two. When I entered the store through their mall entrance like you see in this photo, I thought that the extent of the salesfloor was just this vertical rectangle, but once I ventured further, I realized that the salesfloor branches out on both sides, forming a capital T shape (the "vertical" part consists of the old Spencer's/American Eagle, while the "horizontal" part is where the UA six-screen theater was). This end of the store is mostly women's apparel, with accessories to the back right. The register area is to the left of the exterior entrance, and behind it is the location of more women's apparel, denim, and the fitting rooms. And in the opposite pocket of space is where shoes, plus-size jeans, men's apparel, and lingerie are. Honestly, I felt like the departments of this store weren't clearly defined, because it seemed like women's apparel dominated in all areas of it; I get that they're the store's target demographic, but it just disoriented me a little. And aesthetically, the store looks almost the same as Newport News, with flood lighting, big white floor tiles with black stripes, and a wide variety of fixtures.
