Corporate retailers are quick to pull the plug on new concepts, and such is to be the fate of cool Mall of America footwear and accessories shop One Thousand Steps, which apparently wasn’t performing as well as the suits from parent company Pac Sun had hoped. Too bad, because I rather liked having this edgier option at the mall, featuring some lesser known brands and a slick assortment of handbags priced at less than $100. On the bright side: everything is currently 40 percent off.

Hey Ali,
I second your sadness on the closing of One Thousand Steps. I had heard of their closing, so I left work early today to check out the sale, which is now 50% off. There is also a small assortment for $9.99!
I bought myself a pair of Bronx boots for $80, a deal for this hard-to-find brand. I could have bought 3 more pairs, and then realized Christmas is 6 days away and it’s not all about my fashion needs. Well not until after Christmas anyway…
