Petition to keep Peebles' open gets 200 signatures
NORWICH – After receiving news that their local Peebles store may be closing down, members of the community travelled to the store and signed a petition asking the company to reconsider.
The organizer of the petition signing event, Todd Meseck, said approximately 240 individuals signed the petition asking Stage Stores to keep the store open.
"The majority of the people who signed the petition were long-time shoppers," said Meseck. "Mostly the reaction people had was they were shocked the company would close our location."
He said people enjoy being able to shop locally, try on clothes before making a purchase, and having to ability to ask for fashion advice.
"Shopping choices may be exponential on the internet, but when you're talking about options for shopping locally, its pretty limited," said Meseck. "If Peebles leaves the area, not only will we lose jobs, but we'll also lose a shopping option and a local employer."
He said the next step is to send in the petition to Stage Stores and wait for a response.
"If Sidney saved their store, maybe we can save ours too," he said.
