more d'town Clemson store stuff:Knickerbockers gets runoft

and they open a store there that sells THE EXACT SAME STUFF? Actually this new store has probably a bit more high-end stuff than Knicks; Tommy Bahama, the Pink Whale Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, etc.
(Note: I was downtown buying me a Military Game shirt and went in most all of them)
the new one is "Alumni Hall":

I looked at their website when they first announced it and they had ZERO Clemson swag on the site.

and refilled it with pretty much the same stuff (with some interior back wall renovation for more space). But when you are in there it feels basically like the same place. Even the counter is still in the middle of the store, just moved back a bit from the front door.

I was the only "customer" in the place. Saw 3 employees. One did ask me if he could help me. Spent maybe 2 minutes in there, enough to gaze over the place and leave. My go-to spot in a store like that is the hat section, and theirs sucked pretty bad. I reckon Vineyard Vines don't make that many styles of ballcap.

This should be the easiest boycott ever. If you Graduated in May of 2018 or earlier, don't go in there.

I was stunned something was open in there, so I just popped in to scope it out. The manager said they had been open for 3 weeks. I pass by there all the time and never noticed until today.

Racetrac gas station compared to a QT. When they were pretty much the only game in town, they could afford to be totally apathetic toward their customer base. Now the game has changed, but their attitude never did.

I can't imagine the Peppiono's messed up selling pizza to drunk folks and had to close due to that.

I hear they are building some sort of big food court complex there, somewhat like a mall - several restaurants with one large communal seating area. All those new apartments in that area need more dining options.

I was looking for a new fitted cap. They're disappearing from downtown stores. Only one I could find was in the new Knickerbockers location.
