If you have any questions or concerns, we will be getting back to everyone as quickly as possible come Monday morning, July 6. Until then, Happy Fireworks!

Happy 4th of July by Gotham City Online on Polyvore.com

We’ve hung iconic posters of New York City all around the store and designer handbags line the wall that shares the entrance doors. In the front of the store, we’ve placed our hot new arrivals from brands like Carlos Santata, Steve Madden, Adidas and Nine West, which are in perfect condition and have a wide range of sizes available. We also have some great Coach shoes in a nice display in the middle of the store. The back of the store has racks and racks of women’s clearance shoes as well as shoes for men, youths and infants. And we’ve got fashionable clothing of all kinds (from bathing suits to business suits) for men and women in the center.

Now you have a great reason to come visit Kentucky! And if you already live in the bluegrass state, what are you waiting for? We’d love to meet you and we’re sure you’ll love shopping with us.

Even though we haven’t officially opened, you are still welcome to come by the store and shop! We’d love to meet you.

Gorgeous Girls and a Crowded Store!

Looking Fantastic!

Even Guys Came to the Party! (We have Men's Shoes Too!)

Everyone Wanted to Buy Something!

        Gotham City Designer Outlet, an online clothing retail franchise specializing in “New York City fashion, ” intends to locate a warehouse and store at the former Wal-Mart facility in Mayfield Plaza. The company has already announced a pre-opening event from 6-9 p.m.

        Gotham City [Online] is based out of New York City, where its corporate offices are located. The online retailer specializes primarily in shoes but also features an array of designer clothing and other apparel. The company’s original warehouse was located in New York, then relocated to Secaucus, N.J., the finally moved to Mayfield, Operations Manager Jeff Robertson said.

        The Mayfield location will be the first time the company has opened a traditional store. Before now, all transactions were handled online.

        Gotham City [Online] partnered with local shoe company D & D, owned by David and Lamar Hardin, to open the establishment at the former Wal-Mart building. D & D is managing the store, while Gotham City Online maintains the back warehouse filled with several hundreds to thousands of shoes shipped throughout the world.

        “I was amazing, ” Robertson said when he was first made aware of the company’s distribution range. He knew of several packages shipped to Australia and Israel. ”Shoes from little old Mayfield are going all over the world,” he said. 

        Robertson and other employees and the store/warehouse said they unofficially opened their doors to the public Wednesday. Since then, they’ve operated on a limited schedule. Robertson said they will officially open Monday, April 20, with regular store hours. They also plan to schedule a grand opening at a later date.

        Rows upon rows of various designer shoes line the front aisles of the store, complimented by swimsuits, purses, and other clothing. Store managers and employees spent the morning making certain everything was in line.

        Meanwhile, in the back of the warehouse, other employees checked in the near-endless supply of shoes to be purchased online at the company’s website: www.gothamcityonline.com.

        Gotham City [Online]’s corporate offices are located on West 33rd St. in Manhattan’s Fashion District.

We also wanted to share some of the beautiful and haunting images our employees and their families captured on their cameras and cell phones during and after the storm. Those pictures are above and below.

Danville, Kentucky

Per an article on USAToday.com yesterday, thousands are without power and ”The numbers soared into the hundreds of thousands from northern Arkansas through Kentucky, where as much as 1 to 2 inches of ice burdened trees and power lines… In Kentucky, the snapping of utility lines cut off phone service and even e-mail, said Kentucky State Police Sgt. David Jude, commander of media relations. Even cellphone service was being disrupted, Jude said. More than a half-million customers in Kentucky remained in the dark. Many of the people had no heat and no working phone service to call for help.”

Luckily, our entire staff is accounted for and doing as well as expected; staying with family to share fireplaces, flashlights and food until local grocery stores and roads open back up again and their power is restored. Our thoughts are with everyone living in the effected areas at this time and we appreciate the support our customers have been showing us.

We are all working extra hard to keep up with demand, but mother nature has obviously slowed things down for us this week. Everyone at Gotham greatly appreciates your business and your patience during this temporary delay in packages being picked up from our warehouse to be shipped by FedEx and the US Postal Service. If you have specific questions about your order, please contact us. We are here to help.

Our new store is in a building that used to be home to a Wal-Mart and it is part of a huge shopping mall (which also means tons of parking). Shoes will obviously be a big part of the new inventory, but we also plan to add fashionable clothing and other great items from our partners that are not available on our website!  We expect to open our doors in February, so keep your calenders open. If you will be in the Mayfield, Kentucky area or want to come down, we’d love to see you!

Below are some pictures of the work going on right now; we just got most of the walls up, and we’ll definitely list more pictures as progress continues. The brown doors on the left open up to the parking lot.

The Last Wall that Needs to be Completed

Ever wonder how all the beautiful designer shoes in your closet got there so fast?
Wish you had a closet that looked like the picture above? (me too!).

Welcome to Gotham City Online’s new warehouse location in Mayfield, Kentucky! From here we ship thousands of shoes every day to customers in every state of the US (including the disconnected ones), to Canada, Mexico, and the entire world!

Obviously that kind of business takes up a lot of room, so we recently had to pack up and find a larger space. Once the prime location was picked out though, we still had a lot of work to do to ensure our Gotham people would be comfy and our processes would continue to be efficient. Take a look below at what we started with.

Yuck! Let’s just say it needed a little more than just a new coat of paint. But add a little Gotham magic and imagination, and you get this much better version:

And so that’s the beginning. Don’t worry, we’re going to show you even more pictures (and hopefully a video too!) of each department in our warehouse once they’re all set up. Stay tuned!

We have all been affected by the recent slide in the economy. Schools and other charity organizations are hurting more than ever and unfortunately even fewer people will be able to lend assistance due to their own financial situation. Even animal shelters are reporting unusually high rates of animal abandonment due to some families having to decide between feeding themselves or their pets!

Gotham is grateful to be in a position to help out our friends, so in celebration of our 10 year anniversary and the coming holiday season, we plan to do just that. You don’t have to do anything different, just keep shopping! Soon we will be donating 10% of your purchase (no extra charge) to a worthy charity. But here’s the best part… you get to pick which charity you want to support each time you place an order!

We already have some great causes in mind but we want your help too. If you know any registered charities or worthwhile community organizations that could use our help, please let me know! If you post a comment below with your idea/organization, I will be happy to contact you back via email to provide you with additional information (just be sure to provide a valid email address!).

Cheers! -Chloe (aka GothamGirl)
