Mr Leonards is a department store located in the Fashion District in the Metropolis borough of New Troy. It is considered a classic "must-see" destination in the city.
Overview[]
In late November, Mr Leonards is the site of the Mr Leonards Thanksgiving Day Parade. It starts at the store's main entrance on Seventh Avenue and makes a slow loop through the city before ending at the store's alternate entrance on Byers Street.[1]
During Christmastime, Santa's Village takes up most of Mr Leonard's third floor and festive and elaborate window displays mean to entice passerby on the street.[2]
After the holiday season, post-season sales usually start right after Christmas and last through mid January. A second sales season hits Memorial Day weekend and lasts through mid June. During these periods, Mr Leonards as well as other stores in the Fashion District roll out discount racks and uncover sales tables to attract potential customers.[3]
History[]
Mr Leonards opened in 1915. Its breadth of merchandise is considered to have revolutionized urban shopping. It is still considered a "must-see" destination for Metropolis visitors despite the fact that online retailers have taken a bite out the store's profits in recent years.[2]
