Talbots Consolidates on Main Street

Talbots, the women’s apparel shop at Westport’s 165 Main St., has reduced and consolidated its floor space. According to the store manager, it moved its display of woman petites from its wing at the corner of Main Street and Parker Harding Plaza to the main part of the store. The store manager said that Talbots’s lease in the onetime Remarkable Book Store space runs out in April and the company has decided to consolidate now although it will retain the full space until April. Talbots took over the space in 1990 along with Talbots Kids on Parker Harding Plaza. In 2003, the company opened Talbots Men’s across the street at 90 Main St. in space now occupied by Vineyard Vines. Talbots closed both the men’s and children’s stores in 2008.
