This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Filene’s Basement. All opinions are 100% mine.

Everyone knows that I love to shop, (It is just one of the many perks of being a Libra!) So it would only make sense that I would know the who’s who and what’s what withing the fashion industry. And when you shop very often, you start to pick up little facts about the stores you love. Filene’s Basement is one of my old favorites so I want to give you a few awesome facts that I bet that you didn’t know before.

Fact #1: Filene Basement Was Founded in 1890

 Fact #2: It Closed In December of 2011

Filene’s Basement was dominant in the Northeast, Chicago, and the Mid-Atlantic States but the economy hit everyone hard in the last few years, and Filene’s Basement was not safe from it. The well-known  and beloved store officially shut its doors for good in 2011. Leaving a gaping hole in the ground for a new business and a gaping hole in many hearts.

Fact #3: It Is A Great Place For Everyone To Shop

Filene’s Basement was known for being a one stop discount shop for fashionable clothes and accessories. But it also sold home goods for a great price as well, so many families shopped there constantly.

Fact #4: Remember The Running of the Brides?

This was Filene’s Basement breakthrough initiative. It received so much national attention that everyone was talking about this store! Over the decades, thousands of people were loyal to the store–some more fanatic than others.
