While on vacation I had on my Kermit Unpigged T-shirt and got into a nice
conversation with 2 waitresses about Sesame Street stores closing. I was
able to let them know it wasn't just in LA that the stores were closing.
They didn't understand why the stores were closing, they said there were
always lots of people in the stores (perhaps they weren't buying things?)

I just noticed this week that the Sesame Street General Store here in
Washington, DC (well, actually in Northern Virginia near Washington)
closed. :(

Recently the Sesame Street General Store at Garden State Plaza in
Paramus NJ had closed. Then just today I heard from a friend
that the one at Bridgewater Commons Mall NJ also closed.
Is it just these stores. or is the whole chain going out of
business?
Coincidentally enough, while the SSt.GS at GSP just closed, at

A few days before the Sesame Street Store here in Portland, Oregon closed,
I asked one of the managers why they were closing. She told me that they
had lost their major sponsor. I don't know who that was, but that is what
she told me. I was really sorry to see it go, I guess I always thought it
would be around, so I didn't buy all I should of. Too late now. : (

How did you find out they went bankrupt? When I talked with the store
workers at the store in Cleveland, they said no one had told them
anything. They said the big brass had a meeting and that same day they
told them to get ready for closing. As far as I know, no one ever told
them anything. Just curious.
Needless to say, I didn't buy enough before they closed their doors.

I just heard from a very reliable source that the reason the chain
of Sesame Street General Stores have closed all over the country was
due to bad management. They have actually been making money but
instead of paying their investors, they plowed the money back into
rapid expansion by opening more and more new stores. When one of
the major investors pulled out because of that, the retail operation
collapsed. Too bad, they had neat stuff!

Um...the concept that there could be a level that is "Ross-worthy" makes me
somewhat uncomfortable, but it was brilliantly funny.
Much better than anything I could've come up with.
Bravo, Margot.

When the store near me closed, I asked the people working there if it
was "chain wide" or just location...
She told me that Sesame Street Stores everywhere are closing...
You can find PLENTY of SS merchandise, however, at Sesame Place
(discussed elsewhere in this ng under another thread)
So, if there were any in the Netherlands, I guess they'd be closing too...

They closed due to bankruptcy......or along those lines.
