Store list
Hi,

I added to the Virginia list of closed stores in Blacksburg and Christiansburg and Added West Virginia to the list with a store that is operating in Princeton, WV.Outdoors24 05:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yikes. That store locations list needs total cleanup. And where the hell was Scottsboro Mall? I can't find any evidence that Scottsboro ever had a mall. TenPoundHammer 04:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, since Rose's has no website (at least none that I've found), it's gonna be a pain to figure out which stores are still in business. TenPoundHammer 15:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

They failed to mention past stores in Morristown, TN and Newport, TN. The Store in Morristown closed almost 4 years ago to make room for Home Depot, while the Newport Store fell victim to the Bankruptcy issue in the early 1990s.
 * Okay, someone needs to really help here. I'm throwing the Expert tag on. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Actions • Words))) 02:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

What's the point of even listing the old locations? Do any other articles about retail stores list former locations? I think someone looking at this article would be much more interested in knowing current locations. Either way, perhaps we should make two separate lists. Jipcy 20:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I would think that old locations are of importance, especially when a chain has seen a significant wave of closings. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Actions • Words))) 18:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Neiman Marcus article has either a list of former locations or a subarticle listing them. However, N-M is both more famous and smaller, so that list is more easily justified. This one is long, boring, and dragging down the article. There might be a shorter way of displaying the list that keeps it from drowning the piece.

 * There's mostly a list because they don't have their own website. --Jnelson09 21:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Without looking at the history, was there a store list that was removed at some point? I can certainly verify that store #227 in Belmont, NC is still operating because I stopped in there yesterday. I personally think that since the number of stores was relatively small, so many have closed, and the chain doesn't have a dedicated website, that a listing of all stores and their status (operating or closed) would be helpful to people reading this article.
