Consumer issues: November 2009 Archives

We've heard the rumors for MONTHS about how Kohl's was thinking about moving into the former space that housed Value City at the West Manchester Mall.

Friday, we finally saw the permits that Kohl's is seeking space at the mall.

I'm a fan of Kohl's, and go ahead, call me wimpy about driving, but I don't like to fight the traffic to get over to the east end of York to shop at Kohl's. The possibility of a store on the west end of town is welcome news to many.

But it begs another question? Will we have duplicates of so many stores that we no longer have to venture to "the other end of town?" And, is that really a good thing?

Meanwhile, we will keep you posted on the latest department store developments.

I stopped at a Redbox in Dover Township this afternoon and was not pleased to discover that the popular DVD rental kiosk had raised its price from $1 to $2 per night.

What's up with that?

Redbox made its name by renting DVD's for $1 per night, a good and inexpensive form of entertainment during this time of recession.

My first inclination, as if I was personally slighted, is to stop renting from Redbox. What do you think?
