The Disney Springs francesca's is among the locations affected by the company-wide closure. You can expect clearance sales at the Disney Springs location as the company works through its remaining inventory. The liquidation process has already begun at all francesca's stores nationwide.

Disney has not announced when the store will close or what will replace the Francesca's location.

I remember my wife once bought a dress from a Francescas(not DS location), the next day she decided she didn't want it but had lost her receipt. They essentially told her to bad. Wouldn't refund, exchange or anything. Said she was even dealing with the girl that sold her the dress and it was obviously their dress as they had unique offering and had a ton of them on the rack. Never did any business with them again.

This is pretty sad, know many people who loved coming here or the one in Altamonte.

Indeed! The private equity firms that have now successfully extracted the value from the asset and are moving on. Seems familiar... oh, wait. Same thing happened to Sprinkles! Francesca's also has the disadvantage of having gone bankrupt previously, which immediately handicaps it regardless of who takes over.

I agree so many of their behaviors have been perplexing to put it kindly.

Are you sure it’s not every retailer on the planet overcharging without any thought as to how they’re driving themselves out of business? Come to think of it…the one at springs fits 🤔

Shame. I know many who absolutely loved this store. I know their pain, as absolutely (not virtually) ALL my favorite retailers are either long gone or on life support. Thanks Walmart and Amazon!

I honestly couldn’t tell you where this store is at Disney Springs.
