Train D1fferent takes over former Payless and Name of the Game locations at West Towne Mall


Payless is gone for good.  The Name of the Game moved to a location close to the center court.


Train D1fferent offers a vareity of workout programs.  It does not have interior mall access.

Guess the "going out of business" signs are in delivery.

Payless ShoeSource closing all 2,100 U.S. stores, starting liquidation sales Sunday.  (USA Today, 2/16/2019)
"We expect all stores to remain open until at least the end of March and the majority will remain open until May," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY. "This process does not affect the company’s franchise operations or its Latin American stores, which remain open for business as usual.” 
Payless.com is no longer accepting online orders but its store locator was still working early Saturday. 
The Topeka, Kansas-based discount shoe retailer had previously filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and closed 673 stores.


The few times I've purchased a pair of shoes here, I've been sorely disappointed.  And you can take that literally.
