Francesca’s, a longtime favorite for women’s fashion at Boise Towne Square Mall and The Village at Meridian, is shutting down all its stores—including both local spots. This isn’t just another retail exit; it’s the end of a staple that survived previous waves of closures and even bankruptcy. The company is liquidating inventory now, and bankruptcy filings are expected soon. With Francesca’s gone, it’s hard not to notice how quickly our local shopping scene is changing. What do you think this means for the future of malls in Boise and Meridian? #Business #LocalBusiness #Francescas
