The Old Rumor Mill Again

Heard around town: Michaels, next to the Palouse Mall, will be closing and Old Navy will take its place

I have no idea about the accuracy of this rumor, but remember, the Lowe's rumor turned out to be true.

UPDATE: Employees at Michaels have debunked this rumor. We'll relegate this to the Palouse Urban Legends file for now.

Michaels is a fun place. Hopefully they are moving to the old Safeway eye-sore.

I don't know, usually this type of rumor is wishfull thinking. It would be very unusual to have one company agreeing to come in before another has agreed to go out. Business very rarely works like that. If I believed anything in the rumor, which I don't, it would be that Michael's is slow, they may close and wouldn't an Old Navy fit here? I have heard many rumors like this one, including some about my own store.

As a progessive Pullmanite, I am looking forward to hear more from TV Reed about his Target negotiations. When is the ground breaking?
