Forever 21 is Finally Here!


The wait is finally over! On Saturday November 12th, Forever 21 opened their doors in Fayette Mall for their grand opening. The mall was very crowded as people from all around Lexington anxiously awaited the arrival of this beloved store. The new Forever 21 is definitely eye catching for mall shoppers walking by. The bright lights and vivid colors draw attention and invite you in! You could spend FOREVER in this store because of its wide variety of merchandise and its open floor space. The chandeliers and sparkle floors make it the perfect girly destination. 
Forever 21 is great for the college student’s budget because the clothing, shoes, and accessories are inexpensive but trendy.  After choosing an outfit, you can make your way to the middle of the store where there is a great assortment of accessories including everything from watches and earrings to scarves and socks. The shoe selection goes from day to night with everything from flats and boots to dressy pumps. With the holiday season quickly approaching, this retail store is a great place to get holiday gifts for friends and family without spending a fortune. You can find something for just about everyone on your list.

I'm really excited about Forever 21 opening. I didn't know whether or not they were going to have a guys sections, since all of them don't, but I was reading tweets on twitter about how guys were disappointed about how small the guys's section was. So I'm excited that I no longer have to travel or order online to get these clothes. Since I've heard the lines have be so ridiculous, I plan on waiting a little before I check out the store.

When I heard Forever 21 I got excited. Having the one that I shop at back home in Maryland recently remodeled, I was excited to see what this one here in Lexington was going to look like. I have friends that work at the mall and they told us about the opening on Thursday. So my roommates and I hopped in a car and came and waited for the opening on Thursday. It was crazy just to see how many people were at this small opening. It was nice seeing the different sections of clothing they had. The lay out of the store was nice compared to a lot of the other ones I have been it. I'm excited to have one here and to have a place to shop at.

I am so excited about this store coming to Lexington. I love Forever 21, it is a great store to go and get fun and trendy cloths that you couldn't find anywhere else. I have yet to get to the store yet since it's opening but I hope to be stopping in to see what they have soon.

I have heard the excitement around Forever 21 opening in the Fayette Mall. While I am not a customer of the store, it is exciting for the local retailers to have this store to draw potential costumers. Also, it is also notable that the store was opened close to Black Friday. With some dry-run days behind them the staff and store will be ready for the famous retail day.

I was so excited to hear a Forever 21 was opening here. I have one at home and it's the first store I go to when I go to the mall so not having one here blew my mind! I went to the opening on Thursday and spent forever in there! The store had tons of stuff at really cheap prices. I ended up buying a few things that were really inexpensive and cute. It was nice to be able to try things on too because I've been stuck with ordering things online I when they come it isn't always what I want. I look forward to knocking out some holiday shopping there!

When I found out that Forever 21 was coming to the mall I was so excited. Now that it is open, I can not wait to go there. I haven't been yet because I really did not want to fight the crowd, even though it's probably going to be crowded from now until Christmas.I love this store because everything is so adorable and fashionable. I plan to do a lot of Christmas shopping there!

Colleen Wade said...

Shopping online is convenient, but I'd much rather be able to go to the store and try on clothes, especially for Forever 21. As much as I love their great prices and deals, sometimes the clothes don't fit as well as I'd hoped. I was so disappointed when I first moved here that the mall didn't have a Forever 21, as that is where my friends and I get most of our clothes from. Now, I can't wait to be able to do my Christmas shopping whenever I feel like it, without having to do it all online! I love how they have every style of clothing, so anyone can find something they like while staying in style!

Forever 21 is definitely an exciting new addition to the Fayette mall! Because most college students in the area shop at Fayette, I think it will do really well. Forever 21 as a whole has a unique business plan. Most clothing retailers tend to strive for either the best quality clothing, or the lowest price, and the low price retailers usually have very simple, boring styles. Forever 21 has those low prices and, though the quality isn't always the best of the best, they have fun, colorful, trendy styles.

Amanda Lewis said...

I was at the mall earlier this week and completely forgot that the new Forever 21 had just opened! Of course I had to stop in because I have been waiting for it to open for quite a while. The layout of the store was very nice but I did not find very appealing merchandise in there. I guess it was maybe because my friend was rushing me to leave. I do want to stop by again when I get another chance because Forever 21 is my favorite store! I'm sure when I go next I will have plenty of time to look at all the merchandise and hopefully find some great items at even better prices!

I am so excited about Forever21 finally being open!!!! I haven't been there yet, because I don't want to deal with the long lines, but I can't wait to shop there after holiday season! Forever is the perfect place to shop for college students because it's super cheap and trendy. I don't feel guilty buying stuff that i know will only be in for a season or two because it's student budget friendly. I think they should have a guys line available in stores here because I think that would be great for business in the lexington area. Maybe in the future.

I'm sooo excited to finally have a Forever 21 here in Lexington. I think we've all been waiting long enough. I just love the variety of clothes they have to offer. I can always find something I like and I always end up leaving with something. One of the things I like about Forever 21 is the fact that they only have a few of each article in stock so you don't have to worry about everyone having the articles of clothing as you do. While I'm very excited to have Forever here I'm planning on waiting a couple weeks to go check it out since it's been so crowded and the lines have been ridiculously long.

I was so excited when I saw that Forever 21 was finally open! I had been anxiously awaiting to go on a shopping spree. I have been twice now and I haven't bought anything either time because of the insane lines. I loved the store and it has an awesome set up, but I wasn't blown away after visiting the massive 2 story store in Louisville. I think it's convenient to have a store here, but if I was looking to go on a big shopping trip I would still visit the Louisville store.

Forever 21 has always been one of my favorite stores to shop. I'm excitied that we finally have one, I usually order online or travel to Louisville or Cincy to shop. I went to check out the store on Saturday and was disappointed because the line to check out was 2hrs long. I hope that this was just because of the newness of the store. I think my next visit to the store will be early in the morning or during a work/school day.

I have been a forever 21 shopper for a very long time. I was really excited to hear that they were coming to the mall here in lexington because i no longer have to travel out of town just to shop there or go online. i can now just go to mall and have it right now. I was actually one of those crazy shoppers that went to the mall on saturday for the grand opening and was very disappointed when I walked in because the line was sooo long. I just put down everything that I had in my hands and left. Im hoping that was only because it was opening weekend and they will find a way to make the line go alot faster. This is a great store for me and my peer to shop at.

Im so excited Forever 21 is here! I hate wearing really nice tops out on the weekends with the high risk of them getting ruined. I wont lose any sleep now knowing i can buy a cheap and stylish shirt to go out in. Forever 21 does such a good job at replicating current fashions in an affordable manner. I think it was an extremely smart business move for Forever 21 to put a location in Lexington. It will bring in so much business from UK, Transy, and other close colleges. Not to mention, when I went in, there was tons of Kentucky blue in sight! I was glad I got to see the new store within its first week of being opened so I could shop in a clean and organized environment.

I was surprised that Lexington didn't have a Forever 21 here, but now since there is one I might have to find another place to find my clothes or just order the items that are only sold online because everyone is going to be Forever21 crazed. I'm glad though that they have my favorite store here, it's about time! I will definitely be doing some Christmas shopping for family there though!

Jordan Lange said...

As an employee at this new Forever 21, it is pretty cool reading all of the positive feedback. So much hard work and hours of preparation went into making it so amazing. I absolutely love working there, except it is way too tempting to just blow my whole paycheck in the store. Forever 21 is like one of the only places I shop frequently, so I was so excited to here we were opening up in Lexington. I am from Northern Kentucky and the Forever in the Florence Mall is just horrible. It is so small and dirty all the time. After working in this Forever 21, I will probably never even go to the Florence Mall again.

When i heard Forever 21 was coming to fayette mall i was really excited. I love how inexpensive and trendy the clothes are. They have some of the best sales around i mean where else can you purchase really cute earrings for $1.50 at times. I went and checked out the store the day after it opened and it was still really crowded the checkout line was all the way across the store and almost out the door. I plan to go back after the excitment of the store being open dies down and really shop, especially since the holidays are coming it will be a great place to buy gifts for friends and my sister.

It's nice that Lexington finally got a Forever 21. I have been to the one in Louisville with the girlfriend. The guys section in Louisville was pretty lame but maybe Lexington's will be different. It is always nice to have new stores coming to Lexington because it will increase the amount of traffic to the area and in turn increase area store profits.

Raven Williams said...

So I was extremely excited when I got the news that Lexington would be getting a Forever21. I'm from Louisville, so around the time I heard we were getting a bigger one, I heard about the new Lexington location. I'm glad it's finally here. I think it's the perfect size, not too big, not too small. I just recently bought an outfit, dress, accessories, and shoes and it only cost me $50! They have great prices here.

I'm so excited that Forever 21 is finally open! It's very convenient that I don't have to travel back home to Louisville every time I want to shop there now. I love the fact that it's so affordable, especially on a college student's budget. I can buy three things for the usual price of one! I haven't been yet, but plan on going very soon.

I am very excited about the opening of forever 21. I have only been the in store once before, it was in Louisville I believe, and that was awhile ago. But even then I still loved the clothes they had. And a ton of my friends shop there and I absolutely love their clothes. Since the opening I have gone by the store but not gone in. The article is right though, it's very hard to walk by and miss the store. It is very bright but very neat and clean and looks well organized from what I can see. Maybe after the holidays I'll have to stop in and see the selection they have to offer!

I love Forever 21, but since literally everyone shops there it makes it more likely that you will have the same clothes as other people. However, I can overlook that because the clothes are so cheap! This Forever 21 is the perfect size. Some are just way too big, and it's a chore to find what you are looking for. In Lexington they did a good job of creating different sections and having enough fitting rooms so that you don't have to wait so long to try on the clothes. I've already been three times since it opened!

Kristen Wathen said...

I'm excited that Forever 21 has finally come to Lexington. I haven't been down to the store yet, but I definitely plan to once a little time has passed and the wait lines shrink a little bit. They have great clothes and accessories that are trendy, but still fit the budget of a college student like myself. Based on the pictures, the store looks bright and clean, and overall a attractive store to shop at. I look forward to making my first visit to Forever 21 the next time I go shopping at the mall.

Forever 21 seems like it will do very well in the Fayette Mall. I just found out that they have male clothing now out the store and I have never been inside an actual Forever 21 store. I think that the store will bring many customers throughout this holiday season and it will earn a lot of money. Many new stores are opening in the Fayette Mall and this will in turn bring in a lot of traffic for stores that are just now opening, like Forever 21.

My favorite store is forever 21! I also think its great that they opened a guys section in the new store so that they can attract a different crowed of people. Im from Maryland and they had just put up a brand new two story forever 21 in the mall and when I came here I was dissapointed that they didn't have one closer then and 1 hour away. When i heard they were bringing one to the Fayette mall I was sooo excited. I was going to go the night they opened but glad i didn't because some of my friends did and left because the checkout line was a 2 hour wait, which is rediculious. I will definitely be going to check out the store soon!

I am really glad that a forever 21 is finally in Lexington! I have shopped at a forever 21 in other cities and bought several clothes from there for good prices. This is why I think Forever 21 is so popular because you can find alot of cute trendy clothes and jewelry for a low price! So I think everyone is very excited Fayette mall now has a forever 21!

I am super excited that Forever 21 has finally opened in Lexington! I'm from Cincinnati and always shop at the Forever in Kenwood mall. I think that the opening of this retail store will bring more people to Fayette mall. They have a wide variety of clothes from there sequence section, hipster section, an gothic section. Also, this Forever 21 has a men's section unlike the store in Kenwood.

I can honestly say that I have never been inside a Forever 21. In fact I just found out that they have a guys section in their store. Im glad that it has finally opened because I know how much people were looking forward to the opening. Eventhough on opening day the long lines discouraged some shoppers, I am sure that Forever 21 will be very successful.

I am really happy we finally have a Forever 21. I feel like they will do really well because they have a great price point for college students. They offer a lot of versatility for every type of style as well. I also really like that they offer trendy options for men too.

Katie Buckley said...

I am really excited that Forever 21 is here! Although it seems like it will be crowded most of the time and the lines will be really long. However, Forever 21 has great prices and a lot of different variety for college students. I think it will do great in the mall and even though it will be crowded often that is good for the store in general. Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores and I'm excited to have it here in Lexington so I can shop whenever I want!

Laura Montera said...

I loved this article because i was actually at the mall the night they did a preview night. I am also sosos happy this opened because back home we have a forever and it is where i get most of my clothes. Now i do not have to order online anymore and pay for shipping i can just go to the mall and shop there!

The opening of Forever 21 has caused a huge uproar in Lexington! I have seen twitter and facebook status' of people attending the grand opening and shopping the first week it was opened. The excitement of the new store I believe is so overwhelming due to the low prices and convenience of the shopping experience. Shoppers no longer have to go to Louisville in order to avoid high prices. However, I have heard due to the large rush of customers, the lines are extremely long, and sales are not being made due to the crowd. I think I will wait a while to go shop!

I could not control my excitement when I heard Forever 21 was coming to Lexington. I had heard so many rumors about it opening that I didnt hardly believe it. The day it opened, I hesitated to go there because i knew how crazy it was going to be. I went the day after, and it was still pretty bad! Anytime you go into that store and check out, the line is 30 people deep, they need to figure out a way to make the line less packed everyday in that store. I absolutely love everything about it though. The trends in the store are not really my type, but the sweaters and tshirts are so cheap that they are worth going there for and standing in line.

Forever 21 is a good edition to The Fayette Mall. It is great to see that they have included a Mens section in the store, though it is small it offers a lot of great deals and some cool looking stuff. The store is pretty cool because everything is so affordable but you get what you pay for and I highly doubt the clothes are even really worth what you pay for them.

Lindsey Coyle said...

I am so excited about Forever 21 opening! A couple friends and I went to this store the Saturday after it opened and I was AMAZED at how big and how much mercandise there was. It look a while to go through the store to check everything out without skimming by different things. The line that day was wrapped around the store so it made me not want to stand in line to buy something. I am from northern Kentucky and we have one at the Florence mall but after coming and seeing this store, there really is no need to shop at the one up north. This store is also alot bigger than that one and has more merchandise. Overall the store looks amazing and I am very excited about shoping there.
