Ralph Lauren is closing its store in SouthPark mall, according to a letter the company sent to its loyal Charlotte clients this week.
The letter, forwarded to me by an alert reader, says the store's last day open at the mall will be May 17. There apparently aren't any plans to replace the SouthPark location with a local store soon: The letter directs clients to visit the closest Ralph Lauren location in Atlanta or shop online. The company is offering its loyal clients free shipping on online orders for a month.
"Thank you for being part of the world of Ralph Lauren and shopping with us at our Charlotte store. It has been our pleasure to assist you and your family," read the letter. It was signed by Robert Norton, a Ralph Lauren vice president.
No word yet on what will replace the store. Stay tuned, however. And as always, send me any tips at elyportillo@charlotteobserver.com.

Yawn. Another store that can't pay the rent cause they can't sell anything.
Ralph Lauren had a store at Southpark? -- oh well....
I have gone to Southpark at least once a week for probably 10 years and I don't think I have ever seen the Ralph Lauren store....where was it?? Been to the outlets in Gaffney and Concord but don't recall a store at the mall.
Ralph Lauren was between Louis Vuitton and Neiman Marcus. I thought the store did decent, but considering all of the department stores sell the brand, and they didn't have a large selection of Black/Purple labels, it doesn't surprise me. It was basically all Polo, and Women's had a few Black Label items. The sales associates at this store were very nice, however.
