Circuit City was FOOLISH to let all their best salespeople go. Sometimes you have to wonder where they get their "leaders."
I have not been to LNT sale - so thanks for the warning. I'M BUMMED about them closing. I liked them so much more than BB&B...but that, again was bad management. I think BB&B will be ok. I know some of their senior managers, and they are doing well. If the close any, it would just be strategic shut-downs of less profitable stores, not that the co is in danger. They also own Harmon & Christmas Tree Shops, both of which are doing well.
Sports Authority is SO overpriced compared to Modell's so I can see that.
I think Chidren's Place should be ok. They have had LOTS of problems, but they are making some moves to get themselves back on their feet. Time will tell...
K-Mart (see yesterdays thread) seems to be a dying store for quite some time now. They remind me of Bradlees before they folded... but it's a shame because I like Sears and they own K-Mart.
GIFT CARDS I told my family I will buy NONE except AMEX gift cards... sorry, don't trust any of these stores. I remember being in Levitz 3 days after they announced they were going under. A woman was in there in TEARS, her dad bought her a $3,000 gift card a week before so she could get her bedroom set. Now they would not honor it. AS IF they did not know what was coming, disgusting really.
Circuit City (I think they're goners, although I'm not looking forward to a Best Buy electronics virtual monopoly)
Office Max (Surprised they've hung on this long)
Moderate Possibility:
KB Toys (I like them, but again, can't figure out how they survived this long)
K-Mart
Sam Goody/F.Y.E./Coconuts
Chrysler (I think given the choice, the gub'ment would let them die before GM or Ford)
Slight Possibility:
Blockbuster
Rite Aid (The one by me is always empty, and yet, there's always a line at the registers)
Sears
Wow are any of those around anymore??? I thought they disappeared a long time ago!
Boscov's is such a nice store, but I wonder how long they can hold on.
I've been to four of them, so I guess am kind of a Boscov's junkie. When then have sales, they have sales! I bought a 250 dollar gourmet coffee maker for 75 dollars a few summers back. I STILL have never seen them under 150 to this day.
