[ # ] Williams-Sonoma Closing Downtown
December 30th, 2007 under Minneapolis


First Crate & Barrel, now this:

Williams-Sonoma in IDS to close

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. in Minneapolis’s IDS Center is slated to close its doors Jan. 13.

San Francisco-based Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM), a retailer of specialty home products, is in the process a clearance sale. Store employees said that the decision to move was prompted by a shaky downtown retail market.

What’s the yuppie condo crowd supposed to do when they run low on butane for their creme brule torches?

Don’t fret. You can still find $100 toaster ovens on the W-S website.

    Rest assured there’s a bigger better Crate & Barrel opening in the Galleria. W-S, though? *shrug*
