Payless, other retail closures may be fortuitous for local real estate
The retail apocalypse’s most recent round of closures will have an effect in Central Florida — but it may not be all bad. Topeka, Kan.-based discount retailer Payless ShoeSource Inc. was the latest to join other companies like New York-based Foot Locker (NYSE: FL), San Francisco-based Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) and Columbus, Ohio-based Victoria’s Secret (NYSE: LB) in revealing plans to close thousands of U.S. stores. Roughly 28 Central Florida Payless stores will close after the parent company’s February Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization filings. Gap still is finalizing its store closures, and a Victoria’s Secret representative declined to say which would be shuttered.

Gap is spinning off Old Navy. Here's how the company went from 1990s apparel king to breaking up
Gap Inc. is spinning off its most successful brand, Old Navy. The discount retailer posts positive year-over-year sales growth and accounts for over 40% of Gap Inc.'s annual sales. Meanwhile, Gap and the upscale Banana Republic brand have battled falling sales for several years in a row. Now, Gap and Banana Republic will join much smaller brands Intermix, Athleta, Hill City, and Janie & Jack to form an as-yet unnamed company, and Old Navy will stand alone.
