Southlake Town Square - Closing Small Businesses, One at a Time
TOWN SQUARE LINKS
The Southlake Town SquareRY
Southlake Town Square's charm is beginning to wear off with the mounting numbers of locally owned tenants force to closed due to bad economy and a management company that is unwilling to lower rents during the worst financial crisis since The Great Depression.
Here is their canned statement to the press and to customers:
"Over the past year and a half, Inland Southwest Management has worked closely with the owners of Collective Board Shops to keep them operating at Southlake Town Square. Unfortunately, after significant efforts, we were unable to come to an agreement on revised rent terms."
The the fact of the matter is that Collective didn't ask for a short term lower rent until late December, making it a total of 6 month before Collective was forced to leave.
Collective Skateboard Shop in Southlake Town Square, Texas has been forced by Square’s landlord to GET OUT!
After making every attempt at negotiating during this tough economic time and HAVING THE MONEY to stay open, Southlake Town square has chosen to ignore Collective requests, hoping that they would be quiet and just go away.
The only reason we can see for ignoring Collective’s numerous phone calls, emails and letters to the landlord is because a cookie cutter, mega mall chain "skateboard" store is in the wings waiting for Collective and their non-compete agreement to be gone.
On Thursday, May 25th, Collective was told they have 5 days to vacate the premises. The owner has a wife and 2 year old son and does not need to be forced into bankruptcy by the callousness of big business. What has happened to the mom and pop shops that help Americans live their dreams? Small businesses and the entrepreneurial mindset is what made this country strong. Help us spread the word about what is happening to Collective in Southlake. Come by this weekend and support the store and show the Town Square that local business has a home in Southlake!
