Eddie Bauer Closing Bayshore Store

Eddie Bauer will close its store at Bayshore Town Center by May 26, which means its customers will have to drive to the Mayfair Mall location.

Bayshore Town Center manager David Moss said another retailer is already expected to fill its space, and he expects to announce that new store in the next couple weeks.

The news of Eddie Bauer's closing comes on the heels of Express opening in the space formerly occupied by Coldwater Creek. Icing By Claire's, a jewelery and accessories store, also plans to open later this summer in a previously vacant space between Apple and Chico's, Moss said.

Express was previously Bayshore's most requested store, and Moss said its arrival is part of the mall's larger efforts to meet the constantly-evolving retail industry. 

"As a mall we're always looking for new ways to deliver what our customers want," Moss said. "We want to continually update our offerings to keep up with hot new retail, new offerings, first-to-market, under-merchandised markets and things missing from the marketplace."
