I have had the pleasure of working at Vans Store 165 in White Marsh, surrounded by a team that has become family to me. Just as we have grown together, we have fostered a thriving relationship with our vibrant community. Our customers are more than just visitors; they are friends, supporters, and a crucial part of our daily lives. The potential closure of our store due to neglect by our mall authorities is a deeply troubling prospect not just for us as employees, but for our loyal customers as well.

The demand for our store speaks volumes, serving as a testament to the popularity and necessity of our presence in White Marsh. We witness this daily, as our regular patrons come in, delighted to explore our latest offerings, seek our style advice, and enjoy the camaraderie that has been cultivated over years.

Vans Store 165 should not face closure due to factors outside our control, namely the mall’s failure to maintain facilities adequately. Our lease is on the verge of being discontinued unless actions are taken immediately to enhance maintenance or provide us with a viable, alternate location where we can continue to engage with our cherished community.

We urge the mall authorities and the community at large to validate the importance of Vans Store 165 by showing your support. Let’s demonstrate the undeniable demand for our services in this neighborhood, proving that our presence benefits the White Marsh community on multiple levels.

Sign this petition to ensure that Vans Store 165 remains a cornerstone of White Marsh, either through the renewal of our lease with necessary improvements in maintenance or by finding a new location that continues to foster our community connection. Your signature can make a difference in preserving not only our jobs but the special bond we have built with all of you who visit and support us. Please lend your voice to this cause.
