I noticed the name change on the store in the Gateway Marketplace. I assumed they were trying to go upscale and wanted me to believe they would have more limited edition stuff. Eventually, I went in I saw that it was usual stuff, most of which I've gotten too old for, minus the Dickies and other inexpensive items.

The thing is, even though Mr. Alan's had the 2 for $50 commercials, it was't an inexpensive store. The 2 for $50 items were usually off brands or clearance stuff. The Nikes and Timberlands were $100-$150. The brands I wore in high school were $40+ for shirts $70+ for jeans.

Forman Mills has probably taken much of the low end market, so Mr. Alan's has decluttered their stores and spent money on better displays to get people to spend more money on their designers.
