Saw that Jewelry Warehouse on Harbison is going out of business....
- Thread starter aj&uscgrad
- Start date
A lot of brick and mortar retail is going out of business. Why drive to a store when you can probably find exactly what you want online for less.
Is there still a location off of St Andrews rd next to the old Kroger? I don't get over to Irmo that much-even though I grew up there.
No, that location closed years ago when they opened up the Harbison store
What about the one on Two Notch in the little strip mall that is adjacent to what was once Columbia Mall? I used to stop there to get stuff.

They are closing because the lease is up.
As for it being the best Gamecock Store, I've been less than impressed with the selections the last few years, as have many of my friends. Addams Bookstore has MUCH better selection, IMO, especially for women.

I understand some/many people feel that way but I still prefer stores. And no I'm not super old

To be brutally honest, I'm not very pleased with their men's selections either. Addams has them beat there too.
I will check out Addams. In the past though I've found the bookstores not to have as much different stuff as they have at JW. Plus I really like the so-called "script Carolina" stuff that has the Joe-Mo style logo on it. Don't think you can get that anywhere but JW. Also, JW seems to mix up brands more where bookstores have more Under Armour exclusively (on polos anyway).

Russell House has primarily UA, but Addams has a lot of Champion, UA, other manufacturers. Addams has made the side area that usually houses books into a women's clothing area, with tailgate items too. I can easily spend a lot of money I don't need to be spending in Addams. I think Addams even changed their name to Addams Gamecock Store, or something to that effect.

I live out that way, but HATE Bauer Parkway. Working downtown, I run over to the Parkland Plaza location quite a bit, especially for minor jewelry needs/repairs.

I usually try and hit it during the day, but not lunch time and I usually come up from Piney Grove Rd. Not too bad if you can avoid Harbison Blvd when it's busy.
Does this mean a "Tiger Paw Traditions" has closed too? Because if so at least some good has come from it

Because we all know I tend to sugar coat thingsI wouldn't want you to be repressed, now.
Women are better I prefer their company over men in virtually every scenario.
If you walk in a clothes store that sells mens and womens, you will see the womens takes up 75%+ of the place. Of course "women matter" in clothing retail

Piney Grove is steadily getting just as bad as everyone is starting to use it. I've gone to coming St. Andrews to Harbison, especially to get to the area near Target/Kohls.

This was their biggest mistake.
I miss Gamecock Country on Rosewood Dr. They always had the best T shirts.
Kohl's has had a couple cool looking sweatshirts and Belk too...
I just haven't seen anything that looks good from the JWH in years...
I heard on ESPN that the Beavers are on top.....
That's not a bad position to take...
If only 20% of the population feels that way, you can understand the decline of brick and mortar. I don't like to buy clothes online, but just about anything else is preferable.
Adams offers 15% discount to Gamecock Club members as well as USC Alumni Association members too. Just show them your membership card at checkout. Great selection too.
