Forman Mills Clothing Factory Warehouse is the latest discount store to arrive in Chicago’s Austin community. The huge store, in the bright and thoroughly remodeled building at 1450 North Cicero Avenue, is holding its Grand Opening starting Friday, March 18 at 7:00 AM, and continuing through Sunday.
    Radio personalities from WGCI, KISS-FM, and the Telemundo Money Machine will be on hand Saturday to welcome shoppers.
    Available are name brand clothing at bargain prices, including Timberland, LA Gear, Reebok, Infant Pelle, Derrick Rose jerseys, PhatFarm, Rocawear, and more. And, everything is 50%-80% off regular prices on the massive selection of men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, and outerwear. According to Forman Mills Manager, Michael Boyd, the store has a staff of about 147. After the store is up and running, the permanent staff will probably be between 100 and 120 people working as sales clerks, cashiers, stock clerks, and managers. This is the second store in the Chicago area, with two more preparing to open at 111th & Halsted and 79th & Perry on the South Side, with more planned.
    Rick Forman started Forman Mills in South Philadelphia as a flea market and then grew the concept into a chain of discount department stores selling name brand overstock merchandise. He also emphasizes hiring employees from the neighborhoods served by the stores.
    At a special sneak peek this week, we met Alderman Deborah Graham and Commissioner Barbara McGowan with their arms full of clothes heading for the check-out. Alderman Emma Mitts had already shopped and was taking her bargains home.

  3. The clothes may not be fake, but they are clearly lower quality.. In my opinion this is all fake advertisement.. You see BRAND NAME and Designer brands that you associate with quality, and those same designers clothes at Forman Mills are just not the same. I happened to come across 3 items that I had bought at Macy's at Forman Mills.. When inspected them, all 3 were noticeably different. The shirt was disproportionate and the neck was super big. It even seemed thinner then my shirt bought from Macy's. This was a Roc a Wear Tshirt. The cargo shorts where the most obvious. They were LRG cargo shorts. The quality just stood out, or lack thereof. There were threads sticking out all over the place, the fly was all messed up, and the stitching was just terrible. Then onto the Jeans. They were Ecko jeans. The jeans were pretty good at first glance. Looked all legit. That is until I tried them on. When trying them on, the proportions were off. One leg was longer then the other, and the crotch area was stitched way too tight. Then when I was zipping up the fly, the zipper broke off! LOL. Yeah. So thats that. So I bought 2 T's and some underwear. The underwear at least had the decency to say they had flaws. The Tshirts, even washed in cold water and hung dry shrunk and changed color. The quality was terrible. So my question is.... HOW?.... WHY?.... How and why are they doing this? How can they advertise these designer brands with tags saying crazy prices and sell them for $10? Why is the quality so much different from those same designer clothes bought at Macy's? Is there some kind of scam going on? I highly doubt they are fakes becuause they would have been caught already. My only thought is that these Designer Brands work with Forman Mills and make clothes specifically for Forman Mills. I mean Forman Mills is a HUGE company and makes tons of money. I would not be surprised that these Designer brands make lower quality items that look the same, just with cheaper materials. I mean its the same thing as fakes and is false advertisement, but it's just the Brands control their own fakes and make them LOL... Crazy stuff.... Thoughts anyone?

  5. When people who make clothes mess up a shirt or pair of pants, it goes to the reject pile. For example, if they used too much fabric on one side of the pant leg or ran out of thread and had to start with a new spool... Or say a machine making mass amounts of Coogi sweaters got jammed, that shirt goes to the reject pile. Or the woman from China whose been sowing for 10 hours straight, the same exact shirt, accidentally triple stitches,,,, reject!!! Those clothes get sent to Forman mills. One time, looking at a rack of sweat pants at foreman mills, one of the pairs had an arm!!! The same trip, I wanted a Blackhawks tshirt, and there were letters missing, like "Chicago Blakhaws" and on the front of one Blackhawks shirt was a picture of Patrick Kane and the back of the shirt said Crawford!!! Some of the clothes are hilarious. Others, you can barely notice what's wrong. I found some really great $40 Sealy Memory Foam pillows for $8.

  11. I had three evictions late last year which deprived me from purchasing an apartment for my family, and my other apartment was not conducive for my family anymore, but I couldn't purchase any due to my low credit score, so I decided to meet my grandpa for a good hacker, because he’s credit score has been raised before by hacker and he referred me to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for help, he’s a very good person and he explained how the hack will be helpful to me and to my greatest surprise, he increased my credit score to 810 excellent score and deleted the eviction on my credit report without any remission during the hacking process. I just moved into my new apartment with my family and I have no affliction working with PINNACLE. Hit him up through his email at pinnaclecreditspecialist @ gmail . com phone +1 (585) 466 4373.

He did exactly what he said he would, He’s always available at any time and awesome. Reach him for help via: pinnaclecreditspecialist@gmail.com / Call +1 585 466 4373.

  13. So, I was in the process of rebuilding my credit. I was in the upper 500’s and after a lot of research I decided to go ahead and take a chance at contacting PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM even though many people didn’t believe in credit repair companies. I am a living witness that contacting PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST will raise your credit score. I am now at 802, 7 collections have been deleted. Good luck to anyone going down the same road I am. Let them know Janice Bonne referred you.
