| Didn't realize until now how many CJ Banks were closing! Missing the one in Victor NY-all my clothes were from there and I also returned all online purchases there. Bright side is I am spending TONS less money. I can't be the only one--don't understand rationale ! |

| The new Christopher Banks/CJ Banks business model is so obvious that it should be spelled out in black & white: Beautiful petite people with beautiful clothes on one side of the store; ugly, fat people with ugly clothes on the other side of the store. You could even paint a dotted line down the carpet in the middle so the 2 sides don't get mixed up. |

| The CJ Banks in Cary, NC closed. I have
bought almost exclusively at CJ Banks for several years. The Cary staff was the best.
They always provided personal reminders of sales, etc. Concord NC is very out of the way. Cary was a much better and central location. I think more than one store in the entire state is certainly reasonable. Every time I shopped there, customers were always plentiful. |

| I too am dissapointed to find that the Cary store closed. They had great style and fit. There are truly HUNDREDS of stores, including Christopher and Banks that cater to small women. I can't understand the rationale. |

| Very disappointed the Fargo store closed. Always seemed busy. Not surprised though, as quality has suffered the past 2 years--very lightweight (sheer)cottons or clingy fabrics not conducive to the fuller figure. Styles not flattering to the fuller figure set who have a need for classic office wear. So sad they deviated from the structured, stylish, fabrics that made us feel secure and were flattering. Would pay good money for good fashion in bright colors that fit. Who wants to see a naked obese person!! My CC (and my husband!)are the only things that are happy about this! |

| We lost our CJ Banks store in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have never been more disappointed in my life. I literally bought all my clothes there. I was feeling pretty aggravated at the powers who made this decision, but I can see it was nothing personal. No, they just chose to make a lot of woman disappointed the whole states over. Was tickled to be taking a weeks vacation in the Houston area, just knowing there would be a CJ Banks in a place that size. Well, guess what? Not one there either! |

| I am really disappointed that the CJ banks
store closed in Fargo, ND. It was the only store I purchased my clothing from.
I agree with everyone that we hear on TV about the overweight crowd but no one wants to help us with clothing. I have ordered on line but I hate the returning hassle and like to see the quality of the fabric before I purchase. |

| Well our store in Vancouver, Wa closed. Many of us are greatly disappointed. I'm now expected to drive a couple of hours to get to the closest one. Interesting though if I wanted Christopher and Banks there are many nearby. What does that say for those of us who are not a small size?? Many of my clothes came from CJ Banks- now I need to find somewhere else. I am not a happy camper! |

| I agree, I bought almost all my clothes at the Vancouver Mall CJ Banks and loved the styles and colors of many of the tops and sweaters. I have been buying online from them but miss trying the clothing on to make sure it fits or the style looks ok on me. Really miss the store. |

| Why are there so few clothing stores for plus size women? so far the CJ Banks stoe in Peoria IL is still,open and is always busy. here are few options in our area to shop at since most department stores just don't want to offer plus sizes or if they do, what they offer is terrible. I plus several relatives put a lot of money in the cash drawer of our local CJ Banks store and can alway find numerous items each time we shop. I pray our local store stays open. WAKE UP RETAIL! We have money to spend! |

| I find it so frustrating to find jeans to fit me and when I discovered the comfot fit style I smiled eveytime I put on my CJ Banks pair. Now that I have had them for 2 years and I need to replace them (yes, I wear them that much) CJ Banks does not make/carry them anymore. When I asked the sale associates, they responding to me that they did not know why. This style is always the first one to leave the store. CJ Bank shouls ask customers what should stay (including stores) not projections and paperwork. |

| I can't begin to tell you how DISAPPOINTED I (and sooooo many women in our area) are that you are taking C.J. Banks clothing out of our Christopher Banks Store here in Danville. We larger women now have to go 35 miles to Champaign or Indianapolis (90 miles). I won't order on-line because sizes vary so much and I hate the inconvenience of having to return things. I am angry and disappointed. It seems like we larger women are being discriminated against. |

| Whoever is the CEO of this company is an idiot!!! They have closed the store in Morristown, TN, which I have spent hundreds of dollars in, and have bragged and told all of my plus size friends about. When i went to the Christopher Banks store in the same mall and asked if they where planning to include the plus sizes in their stores, the clerk said that the new CEO doesn't like it and doesn't want the sizes mixed. This was also brought to my attention when the Christopher Banks store in the Fayette Mall in Lexington, Ky quit carring any plus sizes. I had also spent a lot of money in that store. This store has been my primary clothes store for over 5 years now. If this CEO has his or her way, I can soon expect two water fountains outside of the christopher Banks store --one for fat people, and one for skinny. |

| I was very disappointed to learn that CJ Banks in Manhattan, KS closed. I bought all my clothes there. That was the only here carried nice clothes for large size figures. All the other stores carter to the young thin figures. Please bring CJ Banks to Manhattan. It's not very convenient for us older citizens to travel to Topeka or Salina to shop at those Cj Banks stores.

| Was shocked to learn the CJ Banks store was closing at the Crown Center Mall in Washington, PA. After the closing of the Morgantown store, this leaves no CJ Banks store under a 50 mile radius to Waynesburg. Although I love and appreciate the quality and style of CJ Banks clothing, I will not spend my time driving an hour or more to visit the nearest CJ Banks stores. |

| I can't believe you are closing the store in Auburn. Please hang in there for a while longer. This is the only place to get clothes that fit for Plus sized women in the area. Although some of the others have some, I am plus size and short and enjoy being in style. I guess we go back to wearing tents and sweats again. It will look better then what some of the other stores have to offer. |

| I just got an email with the sad news that CJ Banks is closing in the Auburn Mall. I am extremely disappointed - this is the only store I shop for close (I can't find anything that will fit me in other stores) - Bangor is the only other location (2 1/2 hours from my home) - Why don't you close the regular size Christopher and Banks and leave the C.J. Banks open? There are plenty of regular size clothes stores here, but none that caters to us plus size ladies! I hope you reconsider this decision! Online shopping is out of the question. I have to try things on - I don't want to buy things online and then have the hassle of sending things back all the time, because it doesn't fit, or it doesn't look good on me. What a travesty!

| I walked into CJ Banks in Auburn yesterday, and after talking to one of the sales girls I found out that they were closing! I am very disappointed. I have shopped there since they opened. Now the closest store is in Bangor, 2+ hours away. With the exception of one new,rude woman that works there, the staff was always great and helpful. Please reconsider, us larger women will have no place decent to shop. And online isn't the same. When you are plus sized, you want to try things on and make sure they look nice. So sad. |

| PLEASE, PLEASE don't close the Auburn, ME store. It is one of the only good plus size stores in the area. I love their clothes, but the website is not good. I don't think the way the clothes are presented on the website, makes them appear flattering in any way. The ladies at the Auburn store have always been friendly and very helpful. If Bangor is now going to be the only store I am NEVER going to get up there to shop. PLEASE reconsider closing this store. LOVE shopping there. |

| Iam very late in learning of all the C J Banks closings, including the store in my area. They were my go-to store for very hip and stylish clothing in bigger sizes, and I went there today looking for just the right blouse. GONE! I was shocked and very very sad. As others have said, they offered clothing that was geared to the heavier form but w/o sacrificing detail and proper shaping. You felt "good" AND looked "good" in C J Banks fashions. We need you back, PLEEEEEEEZ!
And as another person commented - WHY are all the blouses out there skimpy in covering the arm, ubbba glittery, and either clingy or a shapeless blob? What has happened to soft feminine detailing, esp for larger ladies? |

| I am in shock!! I went to my closest CJ's (Watertown N.Y.) - 2 hours away and it was gone! I amm soooooooooo sad): I found this store 5 years ago and shared it with so many. I will really miss it. I must add though that in the last year the quality and styles were lacking. The Christopher James store beside it survived, the regular sizes have so many other options, it isn't fair. |

| Generally, I love the clothes at CJ Banks, but I am a short person and I hardly ever find Petite Pants in our store. You must have to be there the minute they put them out in order to find them. I also have an issue with summer top sleeves. It would be nice if they covered more of the arm. Am I the only heavy person that hates their arms? I would love to see more 3/4 length sleeves in the store or even to the elbow. |

The clothes were nice looking and fitted well. It was the only reason why I even went to the mall. I am really going to miss the gals that worked there. They were super. I just can't believe it closed it had great business. Disappointed in Morgantown, WV |
