Among the first customers was Jose “Jojo” Eguia, who arrived at 6:52 a.m. to secure the first spot in line.<\/p>\n
“It was super exciting. I got up at 6:30 and got here at 6:52 to be the first one,” Eguia told 3NEWS.<\/p>\n
Eguia said he had been looking forward to the opening after seeing the store’s merchandise and promotions while visiting the mall the night before.<\/p>\n
“There was tons of stuff, tons of goodie bags,” he said. “I saw tons of promotion on social media.”<\/p>\n
He wasn’t the only one excited. Eguia said several other shoppers told him they had also gotten up early to attend the grand opening.<\/p>\n
The new Urban Planet by Charlotte Russe store occupies a 23,986-square-foot, two-story space in La Palmera’s West Court, next to JD Sports on the main level and LensCrafters on the upper level.<\/p>\n
The retailer offers affordable clothing and accessories for teens and young adults, including jeans, dresses, jackets, graphic tees, shoes and activewear.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the opening, the first 100 shoppers were offered a store gift card and a special gift. A Buy Two, Get One Free promotion will also run through Sunday, Oct. 18.<\/p>\n
Eguia said he was impressed with the clothing selection and encouraged others to visit.<\/p>\n
“I think the fashion here is very, very good,” he said. “You definitely have to come check it out.”<\/p>\n
Eguia also said he learned the store was hiring for additional positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new two-story clothing store celebrated its grand opening Friday, with shoppers arriving hours before the ribbon-cutting.
