I'm from MS and it's too rural. Not a town that could support one. I am shocked that Memphis does not have one as all of the LEGO is shipped out of Southaven, Ms which is like 10 miles from Memphis. Stinks for me. I have to drive like 5.5 hours to get to a LEGO store.

Lego seems to want to be in classier, higher end malls in dense population areas that aren't stinkholes. Memphis, sorry, but you're a stinkhole.  :twitch:  On my side of the country they didn't put one in Oakland or Stockton, either. Stinkholes.

 

If you look at their target buying audience for expensive sets - rich people, nearly-rich people, wannabe-rich people, collectors who would rather have the newest Lego than pay the light bill, and parents well enough off to dote on their children and buy them pricey toys - you can see why they make a decision for this city and mall over that city and mall in most cases.

Lego storea are placed where there is demand for Lego sets and the profitability. There are a lot of Lego stores in highly populated areas like NYC and LA where there are millions of people are tourists. That being said, I only had a Lego store in close reach of where I live for about 1.5 years right now. Before then, I would have to drive about 500 miles to get to the nearest store, which was not an option. TLG chooses where they think Lego stores will be able to make a lot of money.

does anyone know of a LEGO store location ever closing?

I compared a lost of Lego stores in the US in 2005 to the stores today. I found a few that did not show up on the list today. Looks like some may have closed.

MS is one of the poorest US states - which means that not many people would actually buy the product, unless a LEGO store is opened up in a middle-class neighborhood of Jackson which is possible since there are many.
