I get all sorts of these country style magazines in the mail telling me I am preapproved.  My mother actually has a Swiss Colony card.  I think they are way overpriced.  Our shopping mall when I was growing up had a Swiss Colony store.  They always had samples for you to try.  I alway bought boxes of those hard wafers found in Chex Mix.  I have a sort of photographic memory so I can walk through all three levels of that mall and tell you what each store was when it opened.  They may not be in the malls any longer but they found a way to stay in business.

The only place I had seen a Swiss Colony store was at East Towne mall in Madison Wisconsin as a kid in the mid 70's.

This was what was known as Eastridge Mall in Gastonia, NC.  The Swiss Colony was on the 1st floor on the corner beside of an anchor store.  It was directly across from a toy store and a pet store.  The mall today would remind you of some outdated fossil like the Mall of Georgia in Athens, Ga.
