Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) – Rack Room Shoes at Wiregrass Commons Mall is preparing to close its doors for good on January 11, leaving just about a week for shoppers to visit the store.
An employee confirmed the closure, marking the end of the footwear retailer’s presence in Dothan. Founded in 1922 in Salisbury, N.C., the company began as Phil’s Shoe Stores before being rebranded by Mort Lerner, the founder’s son-in-law, as Rack Room Shoes.

Local shoppers are encouraged to stop by soon before the store’s final day of business.
