Welcome to Dover Delaware, a small city in the first state. As a local resident who has seen shops come and go during this pandemic. It is disheartening to see a very popular, well-loved tiny but mighty store getting ready to close its doors on us. Francesca's has offered amazing value and quality of clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and novelty gifts to adults, tweens, teens, and everything in between. Unlike other stores in Delaware that offer similar styles of clothes, those stores happen to be too overpriced for some of our residents.

It is difficult for our residents that only travel to the Dover Mall to keep losing their favorite shops. Especially around this holiday season, loyal customers will have to risk being in overly crowded areas like the Christiana Mall to go to the other Francesca's store. We understand the Dover Mall is not at the same standard as the Christiana Mall. But Dover deserves to grow just as much as the other cities in Delaware. 

The staff is unmatched, kind, and observant of our needs as customers. They listen to us and offer amazing styling tips and suggestions. Something those big-box retailers cannot match. 

Dover is a great business investment because our population keeps growing. The surrounding communities like Milford, Smyrna, Harrington, Felton, Cheswold, Camden, etc are also going to be affected. Even residents from out of state love to do some tax-free shopping in Dover. 

Please help us by signing and sharing this petition to keep this wonderful store open.
