Comings & Goings: J. McLaughlin Closing

J. McLaughlin, an apparel retailer at 1026 Post Road East (and formerly at 91 Main St.) is closing on July 15, according to Samantha Holmes, acting store manager and area director. “It has not been a good location for us, and it’s too big with enormous overhead,” she said. A store employee said the company, which has Connecticut stores in Greenwich, New Canaan, and Washington Depot, may find another location in the area. Holmes said the store, which has been at its present location since November 2010, would participate in Westport’s annual sidewalk sale July 13-15 and then close for good. Sale items will include fixtures and displays, she said. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
