989 American jobs down the Obama rat hole.

I bought a refrigerator/freezer from this company in Peoria, Illinois a couple years ago and the one they brought me was a lemon. It's temperature could not be regulated right to keep the fridge items from freezing. A call to the store and they had a new one delivered to my house the next day. No problems with it at all.

Not attention grabbing really "only" 989 jobs after all. Not attention grabbing except to those 989 American families affected that is and this stuff is happening all over the country - obama, period.

Selling each unit at a loss, but making a profit on the volume didn’t work out?

I remember back in the day when Crazy TV Lenny was giving away a free bike with each advertised low-priced appliance/electronic/furniture deal...

Free at last! Free at last!
or so the Dems will have to play this. They have no idea how to create jobs. Class, what happens when costs go up, such as energy, food and health care? Anyone? Buehler?
That’s right! There’s no money for anything else.

You’re right; I really couldn’t imagine the suffering across the fifty states as this unfolds.

“I bought a refrigerator/freezer from this company in Peoria, Illinois a couple years ago and the one they brought me was a lemon.”

You were one of the lucky ones - we purchased a kitchen full of high end appliances from them and everyone was a lemon. Plus the “recommended installer” didn’t know what he was doing either. He left and never returned without finishing the job.

The Sub-Zero was a second - the freezer had a replacement part.

American did not stand behind their products or recommendations. It was a very costly experience.

I know why American TV & Appliance is going out of business. This chain isn’t the same TV Lenny’s that won the hearts of many.

I wonder if they got permission to fire employees.

The company was using the wrong calendar.
They evidently missed the recovery summer a few years back.

Another victim of the Obama economy. I wonder if O should give them incentives, but I guess they are not to big to fail. :-)

Mattioli, 70, known for his wild store promotions and commercials, retired from the company about five years ago and in March opened an electric bicycle store on Odana Road in Madison.

Good move. Electric bicycles must be big sellers in Madison. I'm surprised they haven't changed "Odana Road" to "Obama Road".

Yep, same here bought some items from the Marquette store many yrs ago, all junk. Everybody pretty much knew you had a good chance of getting ripped off there. I couldn’t believe they lasted as long as they did, but then I can’t believe that many people put OBozo in place to run our country.
