I would hate to see a Cole Haan and Kenneth Cole stand-alone store leave Oklahoma, even if it is just an outlet shop.
Bummer. I hated to see the Coach Men's store close, but I think they closed quite a few stores across the country in recent years. That may be part of the reason these stores are closing as well; who knows. I think some of these retailers are really losing out to the "fast fashion" chains like H&M, Zara, Topshop, etc.
