We, respectfully, petition that the FYE Novi store either stay open, or move to another location in the vicinity. This store is the only one in the area that has such an extensive music and movie selection. It has something for everyone - unlike the surrounding retailers that only sell the “Top 40”. The store also has extremely dedicated and loyal customers. When the FYE in Westland closed, those customers loved FYE so much that they started traveling all the way to the Novi location just to shop there.

Quite a few have already expressed disappointment in having Great Lakes Crossing or Berkley as their next only option because of the distance – especially with the rising cost of gas prices and other bills. They have also conveyed that they would switch to buying online from another retailer if this store were to close. The store also has several groups of special needs organizations that coordinate field trips to Twelve Oaks mall just to visit FYE specifically.

A considerable amount of employees from numerous businesses inside Twelve Oaks mall have voiced their disappointment on the store closure as well. The majority spend their breaks inside the store, and almost always purchase something. They have become loyal customers as well. Novi is an undoubtedly lucrative business area, so it would be prudent for FYE to remain open in this city.
