AUBURN –
Crawford Square Real Estate Advisors (CSREA) announced today that The Pants Store will open this fall at The Shops at Gay Street in Auburn, Alabama. The Pants Store is the first of several tenants to join the new Publix-anchored development in the heart of downtown Auburn.
Started by owners John and Michael Gee’s grandfather, The Pants Store opened in 1950 as a pants wholesaler in downtown Leeds, Alabama. Gee’s father took over the family business in 1976, followed by Michael Gee and his brother John in 2007.
“We are always looking for the right opportunity and this location was something we couldn’t pass up,” said Owner Michael Gee. “We are looking forward to being a part of the Auburn family.”
The Pants Store since expanded to seven locations in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and Auburn.
“The Shops at Gay Street is an excellent new development project located in the heart of Auburn,” said Mary Beyer Lell, head of leasing for Crawford Square Real Estate Advisors. “Our team has a strong history of working on grocery-anchored developments and The Pants Store is a natural fit for the college town.”
The Pants Store is set to open later this year. For more information about The Shops at Gay Street, visit crawfordsq.com.
