OMAHA, Neb. – March 6, 2012: Continuing its rapid expansion,
Gordmans, Inc., an Omaha-based apparel and home fashions retailer, will open
its 75th store with a grand opening weekend at its newest Minnesota
location starting Friday, March 16. The 65,000-square-foot
Gordmans opens Thursday, March 8 at 1663 County Road B2 West at Crossroads of
Roseville.
“Our mission is to delight our guests with big savings, big
selection and fun, friendly associates,” Jeff
Gordman, president and CEO, said. “We believe that our fantastic values on
name brand apparel, accessories and home decor at up to 60 percent off
department and specialty store prices every day has enabled our expansion in
Minnesota and across the U.S. The savvy consumer is looking for value, and
offering such incredible deals on a wide array of fashion-oriented merchandise
really seems to resonate with our guests.”
Like Gordmans’ other stores, the Roseville store’s open and
contemporary designs are further enhanced by a children’s theater and
sports-themed television viewing area.
Gordmans will present a $2,500 check to Roseville Area School District
#623 on Friday, March 16, to launch Partners in Education fundraising events in
conjunction with the weekend’s grand opening festivities. Partners in Education
is a program for businesses, government agencies, civic groups and faith
organizations to make additional educational resources available to local
public school systems. Gordmans’ guests at the new store may participate in
this event by purchasing “helping hands” for $1 each from March 8 through March
25. Every dollar raised will directly benefit the school district. Since its
involvement with Partners in Education, which began in 2000, Gordmans has contributed
over $976,000 to public school systems in 16 states throughout the country.
“Partners in Education provides Gordmans and our guests a means to make
a difference in the lives of schoolchildren in the communities served by our
stores,” Gordman said. “The collaboration also is a great volunteer opportunity
for our associates.”
The new Roseville Gordmans store has selected Central Park Elementary as
its partner school.
With the opening of the new
store, Gordmans operates 75 stores in 16 states.
