Two Rockford stores are moving on up to East State Street due to the need for more space, and both stores will be open for business this July.

Last week I was driving to work along East State when I noticed the sign for Party City on the marquis next to Mobil, in front of Old Time Pottery. I immediately thought to myself, "say what!?!". I drive past that location 5 times a week, and I had never noticed it before. I immediately feared I had been living in a hole, and that I probably shouldn't be driving around at 4 a.m. if I am that unobservant. Turns out, the location move for Party City is a new development, just like the new Bath and Body Works location being built in the Forest Plaza between Maurices and Massage Envy.

 


Personally, I'm probably a little too excited about this additional location for Bath and Body Works. The store in the Cherryvale Mall is always slammed when I go in there, so hopefully the new East State location will allow for a more relaxed smelling and spraying experience.
