The Francesca’s clothing boutique at Disney Springs is scheduled to shut down on March 29, as part of the retailer’s decision to close all its U.S. stores. The chain made the announcement in mid-January after 25 years in business. Staff at the Disney Springs location confirmed the closure date by phone.
In mid-January, Francesca’s, a women’s clothing boutique, announced plans to close every one of its stores across the United States after operating for 25 years. The decision affects the location at Disney Springs, part of the Walt Disney World Resort shopping and dining area in Florida. Sales have been underway at the store since the initial announcement, with items now marked 50-80% off, including store fixtures. The retailer’s website also promoted a warehouse sale online, though that page recently displayed an “Over Capacity” message. A call to the Disney Springs store confirmed that it, along with all other Francesca’s locations nationwide, will close on March 29—leaving just a few days for final shopping. Customers near any Francesca’s outlet have the same limited window to take advantage of the discounts. The closure marks another retail departure from Disney Springs, though details on a replacement tenant were not available.
