Two Letters Gone
1 min read
The Shoppes at Chino Hills just sold for $157 million.
That’s not the part I care about. What I care about is the new name. The Shoppes at Chino Hills is becoming The Shops at Chino Hills.
Two letters gone. Feels like a win.
I’ve never understood the odd spellings. Sorry, Vitamin Shoppe. Retail has had this thing for years: Shoppes, Towne, Centre. It made a strip mall sound like a British estate.
Next up, hopefully, Towne and Centre. Yes, we have some of those too. I still find them weird. Maybe we’ll change them someday.
