Old Navy Closes in Bowie Town Center

Officials said the store was "repositioned" to the new location at the Waugh Chapel Towne Centre.

Once Old Navy opened at the Waugh Chapel Towne Centre, there wasn't much of a need to keep the store in Bowie open.

The Old Navy in Bowie Town Center closed it's doors for good last month, the day before a new store opened up in Gambrills. According to Julie Luker, a public relations manager for Old Navy, the store closed on Jan. 22 and was "repositioned" to the new location in Gambrills. 

When asked if Old Navy would be opening a new store in Bowie in the near future, Luker indicated that there was no specific plan.
