Franco’s Fine Clothiers is opening a store this week in the Chesterfield Towne Center for the holiday shopping season—and maybe longer. The store will take over the 4,100-square-foot space once occupied by Bachrach, which was closed in August after less than a year. Franco Ambrogi, who co-owns the upscale clothing retailer, said that if sales during the holiday season go well, he likely will keep the store open permanently. The short-term lease runs through January, he said.
