The Guess store in Perkins Rowe has closed, but the mixed-use lifestyle center is set to bring in a Zoe’s Kitchen. Rick Balow, general manager, says the Guess store shut down Friday. Balow says the store suffered from “poor sales,” even though some other clothing stores in the center are doing very well. Guess is “struggling with an image problem,” Balow says. The second Zoe’s in Baton Rouge is set to open in the spring, in the space next to Kiki. Birmingham, Ala.-based Zoe’s has been in Towne Center since 2005. Balow says other restaurant operators have shown interest in a couple of other vacant spots in Perkins Rowe: the old Fish City Grill space next to the movie theater and a space along Bluebonnet Boulevard.
