This concept was a bad idea from conception and I said so in this forum, it was also a slap in the face to the people of Farmington.

Now if they would only hire back all the long time Farmington employees they fired when they made this dumb move.

Just as I finally started loving Savers, they are changing it! That’s too bad and a bit coincidental as I was in the store the other day and overheard another shopper on his phone telling a friend what a great little secret this place was. I think Savers depended a little too much on past patrons and word of mouth to bring in the business. Had they been a little more strategic, they might have been able to steal away customers from Cub, Rainbow and Target who go there just because they don’t know any better.
