Comings & Goings: Main St. Chico’s Closing

Chico’s, 61 Main St., part of the clothing chain offering women’s fashions, will close on Jan. 25, according to store manager Donna Begler.  “Our lease expired,” she said.  She added that there are three other nearby Chico’s in Fairfield, Milford and Stamford Town Center. Chico’s Westport location closed temporarily four times due to flooding in 2011, twice in 2012, and once in 2013. A real estate source said a number of Main Street stores are considering leaving because of past flooding issues and eyeing a new mall planned to open in Norwalk at I-95 Exit 16.  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
