Our birdies were spot on about Urban Outfitters leasing the old Hardware Store space.  We heard this rumor back in August of last year. We love the birdies WCAV confirms it after talking with a spokesperson.  There are no more details at this time.

We’ve heard from a reliable birdie that the former Hardware Store location is being converted to an Urban Outfitters. It makes sense given the store’s size and the standard size of U.O. shops.

If you recall, one of our other birdies told us in September that a clothing store was in the mix for a possible lease of the once famous restaurant. This does conflict with the rumor that the X-Lounge people were behind something.

We think this rumor has some wings and it looks like the cat is finally out of the bag. Thank you birdie! I’m sure mall people are not happy about this.

Update from danpri…possibly not finalized, due to a lack of official inking.

We heard the rumor from 2 sources that the Hardware Store was leased by someone from the X-Lounge team.

We also heard they are going to serve nothing but Spam (OK, that’s a lie).

Does anyone know more deets?
