retail watch | no logo edition


a sneak peek inside the store.

At long last, the creepy empty storefront on the corner of 45th and the Ave in the U-District will be used for something other than a makeshift bus stop, street musician rain shelter, and platform for the neighborhood to advertise its vitality. While some may have considered the window posters promoting the U-District an improvement over the Pier One Imports that once occupied the space, there’s a new tenant in town.

That’s right — no more going out of town or to the website for us. Seattle finally gets it’s own brick-and-mortar American Apparel location for all of our plain well-fitting sweatshop-free clothing needs. According to a sign tacked on the front door [jpeg], the shop opens tomorrow (30 March) and they’re still hiring for all positions. Applicants should be aware that the store founder Dov Charney is more than a little unconventional [jewlicious] with respect to interviews and office behavior; so “all positions” might have more than a single entendre.

Still. Why hold funny mustaches and chronic masturbation against the clothes? As far as I’m concerned, the size medium T-shirts are just about perfect.

    Correct Link: [jewlicious]

    Also, I had to use tinyurl to code the link because for some reason *us*.com is blocked as questionable content… What’s up with that?

    That’s strange. I think it’s fixed in the main post now. Thanks for proofreading!
