Gordmans to replace Peebles in 2020

Say goodbye to Peebles, and hello to Gordmans.
Blakeley Graham, brand publicity manager for Stage Stores, said Stage Stores, which owns Gordmans and Peebles, plans to convert the Peebles location to a Gordmans store in the spring of 2020.
The Peebles store is planned to close in the days leading up to the Gordmans grand opening in spring 2020. The conversion from Peebles to Gordmans takes less than two weeks, Graham said.
All current Peebles associates will be offered jobs at Gordmans. Additional associates also will be hired during a job fair early next year.
Graham said she will have more details as the plans progress.
The transition comes as Stage is converting a number of stores across the country, but not all locations.
“Stage has been converting a number of its Peebles stores because consumers are responding positively to Gordmans’ off-price offerings,” Graham said in an email.
Gordmans is an off-price retailer, which means that it has a wide array of merchandise for the entire family at the lowest possible prices compared to department stores.
“Gordmans, which has been delighting shoppers for more than 100 years, has fresh new merchandise deliveries arriving weekly; there will always be something new to discover when it comes to popular name brand apparel, home décor, footwear, gifts, accessories, fragrances and more for the whole family,” Graham said.
