the only reason why Ruehl is closing is because of the marketing styles.yes i belive ruehl is the greatest store on earth, but it seems to me that they are spending more money on concepts and visuals. it think Mike Jeffries is cool, though i havent met him. i agree with him on one thing: concepts and atmosphere and displaying cool things . its all about the concept and the advertisement and presenting things in the best way possible. ruehl was a stunning example of how to live in a upscale new york apartment, everything was great. presentation is everything. great store. great cologne. but what hit them the most in the negative way was simply archetechually. there were too many rooms and mirrors and it was aa bit dark…it felt like a maze. if i was one of his executives, i would have made suggestions as to change the layout of the store. i would have kept the stairs, kept the wonderful scent that i hope will one day be featured at hollister, i would have kept the color sceme , kept the style and the atmosphere, but would Change the laylout of the store so it would be a less of a maze.
i want to get rid of the smaller rooms and have 3 main hallways, one for mens, main hallway, and the womens. the entrence should have a chandalere and a stair case , like it is currently . all should be changed is the smaller rooms. it should have been opened up.
i know this is a rough copy of my actual critcs but you kinda get the jist of what i’m trying to say.
hope they will one day read this and take into consideration of presentation. i’m a very good critic, i focus on anything that is wrong and fix it, or at least try. i could save many peoples jobs by just simply telling them whats wrong and how to fix it. i really like Ruehl because of the presentaion and over all concept of upscale buying and living. i hope one day Ruehl No. 925 will open once again.
ps: if incase Mike Jeffries does see this comment, i hope he will take into consideration that i belive he is a great artistic person who knows concepts and is skilled in advertisents and has good tastes in design. i just want to with you best of luck in finally ending ruehl, and hope that one day you can open up a new concept clothing line that will be better then ever.
ruehl closed down the thousand oaks location on the twenty 4th of christmas. what i would have done was i would have closed it a few days after christmas, to take advantage of all the sales and stuff like that. i’d get more money that way.

TO Sam:
1) thanks for the comment
2) i’m 26 and making huge amounts of money
3) i like the clothes because its not know to the public and its not mainstream abercrombie
4) i was in the lines of saying that they weren’t noticed by exagerating how it’s archetecual design was lacking…. which in return did not get the store noticed… your not looking at the big picture
5) i stated that it LOOKED upscale, not it is… think before you write false oppinions
other then that your on top of things
