That store is trashy now, Trash and dirt all over the carpeted areas. Big stains. Non carpeted floors look terrible. Stuff just sittin around, not organized. Stuff laying in the isles. Besides the loud buzzing which I guess was the lights, there was no other noise, like no music. All you could hear was the loud buzzing and people coughing. Screw that store. And it was shortly after they had opened it was that bad.
This store is our favorite store and only reason we come to wichita. Hate to see it shut down because people wont shop there becuz of being trashy. Please log in again.

Gordman's recognition as retailer stemmed not only from the increasing size of his company but also from the manner in which he presented his stores to the public.
In Omaha, according to the company, Gordman was the first to introduce central checkouts, shopping carts, and self-service shoe departments to the retail realm.
Richman Gordman stores also were credited with introducing the racetrack concept to a retail store's layout, a design that enabled customers to find a particular department by following a path describing the perimeter of a store. Gordman's innovations reached further, touching on a retail concept that recorded tremendous success at the end of the century and changed the dynamics of the retail sector.
In , one year after opening the Grand Island store, Gordman was beset by excess inventory. He also owned an empty building. By putting one into another, Gordman created a new business for his family-run enterprise, one that became the central strategic focus of the company in the 21st century.
Discount retail chains flourished during the s, but Gordman enjoyed success with the concept decades earlier. In , he opened a small store in Omaha on an experimental basis, hoping to use the store as way of getting rid of end-of-season merchandise that had been removed from the shelves of his department store chain. The store carried Richman Gordman merchandise, with each item selling for 50 percent less than it had at the company's department stores.
Soon, the discount concept became more than an outlet for out-of-season Richman Gordman merchandise as growing demand prompted Gordman to dispatch buyers to negotiate for factory overstocks and in-season buyouts from apparel and accessories companies, which, in turn, spawned a separate corporate infrastructure to support the discount chain.
The Gordman family retail business grew in two directions during the s, expanding through both Richman Gordman Department Stores, Inc. The two subsidiaries were controlled by the family's umbrella entity, Richman Gordman Stores, Inc. On the department store side of the business, six new Richman Gordman stores made their debut during the decade, additions that strengthened the retailer's presence in Omaha and Des Moines, where it already operated, and provided entry into new markets such as Kansas City, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Wichita, Kansas.
The Gordman's discount chain expanded at a greater pace during the s, when nine new stores were opened in a five-state territory. By , 75 years after Sam Richman opened his small shop in downtown Omaha, Richman Gordman Stores employed 4, workers and operated two retail chains, each comprising 16 stores. The company's 75th anniversary marked the return of Dan Gordman's grandson to the family enterprise, a significant event at the beginning of what would prove to be an arduous decade for the Gordman businesses.
Jeff Gordman grew up working in the family business, leaving Omaha after high school to attend The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. After earning an undergraduate degree in economics, Gordman moved to New York City, where he joined Lehman Brothers as an investment banker. Following a stint on Wall Street, Gordman earned his master's degree in management from the Sloan School at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, intending to pursue a career in strategy consulting.
However, his plans changed after his grandfather issued an ultimatum. Dan Gordman threatened to sell the company unless his grandson returned to the family business. Jeff Gordman moved back to Omaha in , rejoining Richman Gordman Stores at a critical period in its development. When Gordman returned, he starting working at the company's stores in Kansas City and Lincoln before moving to the company's central offices, where he became part of Richman Gordman Stores' information technology group.
Next, Gordman became a buyer for the company, but the duties associated with his job as well as the tasks assigned to virtually everyone else in the company soon were overshadowed by far more pressing demands. Richman Gordman Stores stood on the brink of insolvency, unable to pay its vendors and creditors. After closing four stores, the store company filed for bankruptcy in , awash in debt and lacking the strategic focus that had underpinned its development for decades.
What is Gordmans all about? Pier 1 will go out of business entirely, while JC Penney intends to stay open but shut many locations. The Louisville store will remain open, for now. The shopping center owner is making arrangement to get job applications into the hands of Gordmans staff.
Until then, Gordmans is slashing prices on its inventory to move as much merchandise as possible. Community news is important now more than ever.
