The number of stores closing has risen to eight. What I find most interesting is that they laid everyone off and closed the stores without offloading any merchandise. The stranded inventory must be worth millions.

According to this commentary:

there have been “closing sales.”

chuckles, did your store have a closing sale?

Actually that can be standard business practice. Often times companies close a store, fire the employees and bring in their own crew to handle merchandise. It is done this way especially if the store has high shrinkage problems.

They would just ship that merchandise out to other stores.

Give a large enough crew 8 hours, and it can all be gone.

May I ask where you saw that they’re up to eight stores? (I can’t find that information)
