Letter: ?The closing of Roses is disappointing

TO THE EDITOR:

I am so disappointed in the University Mall and its actions toward Roses. 

It has become a mall with very few choices for the average and below average income person to shop for everyday items. 

Roses was our one resource for such items that we could purchase at reasonable cost. 

It also was a favorite place for me and many others to shop in their awesome UNC logo section where you could find a large variety of items, again at much less cost than areas on campus. 

Additionally, I often used Roses for layaways for Christmas. 

It is sad to see it go. The mall is turning into an elitist shopping venue. 

With its dwindling clientele due to shopping centers like Southpoint, you would think they would keep such a draw for the average citizen like Roses. I am very disappointed in this.
