Fashions by Cexi saying goodbye to Maricopa

W.S. James, owner of Fashions by Cexi in the Fry’s Marketplace, recently decided to discontinue business operations.

Fashions by Cexi, which had been in business for about a year according to James, is the third business to recently close in the shopping center, joining Ramsey’s American Grill and Century 21 Metro Alliance.

Despite beginning a liquidation sale last Thursday, James wanted to thank all customers for their patronage.

“It was a pleasure to serve the residents of Maricopa and a blessing to have had the honor and privilege of working with a staff who were the epitome of excellence,” James commented.

According to James, closing the business was a difficult decision to make, particularly when it impacts employees who he said have been completely wonderful in all aspects. James, however, said it was a necessary decision.

“The Barclay Group (property owner) has been remarkably responsive and cooperative, allowing the transition to progress seamlessly,” James added.

In the closing of Ramsey’s back in August, Barclay Group refused comment on why the business was shut down.

Jim Gardner, a spokesman for Barclay Group, told inmaricopa.com at that time in an email response that the company did not feel it had been correctly quoted or treated fairly by the “Press” in Maricopa. Therefore, the company said it had no comment.

There is no word yet on what will replace Fashions by Cexi in the shopping center once the liquidation sale is complete.
