New Instagram Account
Lost & Found: Avalon Exchange Coventry's Instagram Page
Many Clevelanders on Instagram have been wondering what happened to the IG account for Avalon Exchange Coventry. Over a week ago it disappeared without notice, leaving customers frustrated at not being able to view the store's latest inventory virtually. Well, the shop has re-emerged with a new Instagram handle: @avaloncov. At the time of this publishing, it is unsure as to the reasons why the account name was changed. However, CLE shopping enthusiasts are beyond overjoyed to have Avalon Exchange Coventry's presence back on Instagram. The retailer hasn't missed a beat in posting their newest arrivals, so hopefully their thousands of IG followers will be back to show their support.
Avalon Exchange is a resell store that buys new with tags and gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories from individuals and resells them to the public. There are two Northeast Ohio locations: one in Cleveland on Detroit Road and another in Cleveland Heights on Coventry Road.
Another National Retailer Closing Its Doors

As with most store closing sales, only cash and debit/credit are accepted as payment. If you have a gift card or merchandise credit, those funds have to be used by September 21, 2020; otherwise you will have to file a claim with their bankruptcy case to get your money back.

National Retailer Shuts Stores & Moves Solely Online
New York & Company Closes Its Doors and Moves to Strictly Online Sales
National retailer of women's apparel and accessories New York & Company has decided to close all of its storefronts and focus strictly on online sales. NY&Co is just the latest apparel company to do so. Some stores have done this due to a decline in sales from the COVID-19 quarantine; others were already headed that way prior to the viral outbreak, because many people are shopping online more frequently than they are shopping in store. Cleveland area locations (listed below) are scheduled to be open until Monday, September 28, 2020. So take advantage of shopping in store by then; otherwise your only option will be to shop online and wait for your purchases to be sent to you.

A New Goodwill Store Coming to the CLE+
Goodwill Is Coming to University Heights
Earlier this year we reported that Tuesday Morning was closing several of its locations around town, including their University Heights location. Luckily, the retail space located at 13908 Cedar Road won't be vacant for too much longer; Goodwill is moving in. Currently, they are renovating the space by adding more square footage to the front of the store. At the time of this reporting, we weren't given a definitive opening date, but the thrifting retailer was hoping to have this location be open for business before the end of March 2020. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, the opening date has been delayed. We will keep you posted as to when this Goodwill location officially opens.

Charming Charlie Closing
It is the end of an era; the adult version of Claire's stores is calling it quits. All Charming Charlie retail stores will be closing permanently across the United States this year. The Houston-based retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month. They will be keeping their 264 retail locations open through the end of August 2019. However, they have stopped taking online orders, and customers must use their gift cards in store by Wednesday, August 14, 2019. The company has additional markdowns off of items in addition to the major clearance sales. Along with their regular merchandise of ladies' accessories, shoes, handbags, and clothes, they will also be selling off store fixtures and display cases. All sales, of course, are final.

Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Morning Closing Some Locations
As we have continued to see over the last several years, many retail giants are having to close their doors time and time again. Earlier this year it was the shoe retailer Payless. This time, Tuesday Morning is closing a few of its stores across the country, including their University Heights location. While many of their other locations are easily visible from the street for potential notorious shoppers to find, their University Heights location is a hidden gem in its spot at Cedar Center Plaza. Many shopping enthusiasts only knew of this spot by happenstance when visiting its neighbor Dollar Tree or purposefully searching Tuesday Morning's website looking for the nearest location of the national retailer. And this, truthfully, may have been the reason the company has chosen to close this location in order to make budget cuts. So while wiping the tears from our eyes about having one less storefront to buy our home goods from, The Notorious Shopper Magazine is eager to take advantage of the clearance sales throughout this store. It is truly bittersweet.
