FYE in Schuylkill Mall Announces Closing Date

The FYE in the Schuylkill Mall has announced a closing date.

According to store manager Brian Gross, the FYE location in the Schuylkill Mall will officially close Saturday, May 27th.

UPDATE: After announcing the 27th as their last day, management is telling us the store will stick around through June.

On February 28th, 2017, FYE began a liquidation sale of most of it's products. The store is expected to increase the percentage off on products as the closing date approaches.

FYE, owned by Transworld Entertainment, has been in the mall since the early 2000's when Trans World purchased Disc Jockey.

The store joins a long list of other tenants that have left the mall since Northpoint purchased the mall earlier this year.

Attempts to communicate with Northpoint on their plans have not been successful.

Listed are stores remaining inside the mall:
  • Pearl Movie Theatres
  • AT&T
  • Suglia's Pizza
  • Bath & Body Works
  • Victoria's Secret
  • Benigna's Creek (Winery)
