these retailers or food chains have a great gimmick or fit a need at the time (it's very surprising just how old most of these companies are), then at some point in their slow expansion decide to go corporate. the company grows too fast, makes bundles of money, but it's the same story time and again -- business slips because a corporation doesn't have a Plan B as they're caught by surprise by competitors, they don't follow the 'innovate or die' rule, corporations are where creativity and merit-based progress goes to die, corporate slugs do nothing more than follow the rules in a fill-in-the-blank quick-buck script which layers and layers of incompetent mismanagers are only all too willing to run with.... a corporation smothers a business' soul, and that catches up with them eventually. by then you're in a hail mary situation, but all upper mismanagement has are high level accounting tricks and shuffling things around staving off the inevitable. often then comes the endless parade of CEOs and people like me wondering how the hell they're still hanging on....

Yeah, but the average American goes to places like these because it's inexpensive. That's what makes the business. Are you willing to spend $50 on an American made skirt or $15 on a skirt made in China if you are trying so hard to look decent and not look like a bum when you go out or go to work? I remember buying 5 tops and 5 bottoms at Forever 21, and all that cost me was $150. That's a full wardrobe, that'll last me a whole year. They cater to people like me, because it's a win-win for both sides.

Sounds like they started getting greedy & didn't study demographics

I actually worked in Forever 21 for a couple month before graduation. They would separate the store in sections/areas. Each area had about 50-100 different styles of clothing and only 2 store assistants per area. Come sale season, it was madness. Each time you would fold a pile of t-shirts or neaten up a rack of clothing, someone will mess it up in a matter of minutes. Not to mention they would rotate the clothing in each store every couple of weeks so you have to remember where each item was placed. Glad it was part time gig and I don't work in retail any more.

You can't properly fold wrinkly thin fabrics. You really can't. A cheap pair of jeans or a flimsy dress become wrinkly just by looking at it. Even when folded, it looks like crap. There were girls in law school who tried to look professional by buying "business outfits" at H&M and I don't care, but they just ridiculous, cause the fabric looks thin and wrinkly, the seams are all wrong, the button gaps reveal your bra, the colar looks awful, wrinkly and flimsy and uncomfortable and the shirt is too long.

The quality ang design does not justify the price. Becoming too expensive.

The reason H&M and ZARA are thriving is because their clothes appeal to many different demographics while Forever 21 is centered around loose ripped cropped weird logo attire. Unpopular opinion but modest clothes looks so much better, not everyone has the desire to show off their stomach, back, legs etc. modesty is beautiful don’t let anyone make you think it’s not.

Living in Brazil these are the things I observe why it is failing: 1- Sizing it not matching ( they need to make size study) 2- Forever 21 is like forever high school. Options for grownups are not enough and those are the ones who have purchasing power. 3- they don’t catch up with local fashion trends. For example on the carnival time there weren’t special accessories and glitter make up products, colorful mayos etc as other brands try to put in their stores. (I saw some of these in REINER and C&A) Besides that Brazilian women prefer more feminine clothing rather than childhish stuff 4- they don’t catch up with the laundry habits. Why I wrote this? Brazilian people wash their clothes a lot, that’s why the quality after washing should be really good and it should be tested accordingly. I realize the tshirts starts to get holes after 7-8 washing

I’m from Europe and ever since the first Forever 22 store opened me and my friend have been going there just to cinge. The clothes are all too colorful and the materials are way too cheap. The same has happened to Zara’s Bershka. Even tho forever 21 was less expensive than Zara, Mango or H&M (at least here), we still prefer those brands. Not to mention that Europeans are not so much into wearing yoga pants every day, bandage dresses or crop tops. We usually see it as teenage fashion.

You can buy tshirts, dresses, skirts, jackets, hoodies and etc on different price range. Similar to barshka, pull & bear ,Monkil, H&M,hollister these are matching brands not Zara or Victoria secret. I agree forever21 bought larger square feet but even H&M has that space

These stores are all going by the wayside just like bcbg. They don't last long as people taste change plus the malls are dying.
