BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The staple of birthday party gift buying in West Boca is shutting its doors forever — just months after it opened near 441 and Yamato. Learning Express will close “soon,” a victim of the economy.
Here is the email sent to customers this morning:
We would like to start off by letting all of our wonderful and loyal customers in the West Boca area know that we truly appreciate your support of our local family-owned business this past year at the
West Boca location. Unfortunately, due to economic conditions, we are closing the West Boca location soon.
We have enjoyed so many great events and charities in this location over the past year, and we encourage you to stay in our family and seek the great deals and quality toys that Learning Express has to
offer at one of our other three locations of Coconut Creek, Boca Raton, and Wellington. We are also extremely grateful for our fabulous online website. You can now conveniently shop for the great buys that were in West Boca right from your own home!
If you cannot make it to one of our
other locations, the site provides shipping or the option of in storepick up. We'll be just a click away now!
The “economic condition” is that their merchandise is overpriced.
The “economic condition” is that small businesses increasingly have a difficult time making ends meet in the current economic climate. It was a nice store with an enjoyable shopping experience and good customer service, and will be missed.
