A new business now occupies the vacant commercial space once home to Payless shoe store in the Kohl’s shopping center on Greenback Lane near San Juan Avenue.
J’s Beauty and Fashion recently opened and offers a hodgepodge of knives, replica guns, clothing, wall decor, cosmetics, and household items. A woman working at the store on Saturday referred all questions from The Sentinel to her husband, who was not available at the time.
An online description for the business says store also offers “current fashion and accessories wigs, nails, toys, shoes, belts, sports apparel.” Hours for the location posted on the window indicate the store is open from 9:30 a.m to 9:30 p.m., seven days a week.
Payless ShoeSource closed the location in 2019 amid bankruptcy. The national discount shoe chain shuttered about 2,500 stores nationwide, Reuters reported.
