Stores not to buy Christmas gifts   

OMG ! Most of these lists are my favorite stores. I hope nobody gives me gift cards from these stores.
Thanks for the info.

Wow this is alot of stores. However hopefully they will keep their website up so I can still shop. You can use your gift cards there and this post is not specific as to wear they are closing the stores. If they are closing all these stores then I do feel sorry for the families that will lose their jobs. It will definitely be hard.

Steve & Barry's are already closed. Value City is closing the first of the year. It seems like the list keeps getting longer and longer.

Wow! That's alot of stores! But on the news tonight they said it's been really tough for so many of them....so I can see why all the closures...thanks alot for the heads up!

Not all of those stores are closing. Some have already closed. Some are going through bankruptcy and restructuring. Some have closed under performing stores and opened more. Some have been bought out by other companies, but still in business in some places. You can get the real scoop on all of them here: http://www.snopes.com/pol...

I noticed Penneys was in there, but we just had a brand new Penneys to open in our area in a new shopping center and it's doing great. One Penneys in one of our older shopping centers closed, but moved to another brand new shopping center. I haven't heard of any Penney's stores just closing down.

that is quite a list - sad, isn't it? but, I suppose it is our own faults for using web service for making purchases. though, I think, seeing the sheer magnitude of stores each company is closing - that they have way too many stores anyhow. It is time to get back to local trade with local companies, bring back Mom and Pop and nix the conglomerate and all its overseas inventory.

Thanks for the list! Thankfully I only have a bunch of Best Buy gift cards.

I went to Steve and Barrys and wow I wish I discovered that place sooner. They were so awesome! I got stuff for $5 each the one day, but couldn't hold more stuff. I went back and got things for $3 each a week or so later, but the selection was considerably less and I had wished I went earlier. I was so sad to have totally missed a lot of the stuff they used to have.
