| | 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. | | | | | | | gicolet (1017)

| | 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. | | | | | | | gicolet (1017)

| | You're right. As you can see there are "may not be true" comments in parentheses about some of these stores. I found out that the source of this list was also snopes.com but some of these stores were interviewed for confirmation of their closings by postcrescent.com. I just heard that Sears are suffering some loss and are closing 8 stores...don't know where these stores are. | | | | Barb42 (2794)

| | My problem with the combined list of stores is that it gives the impression that all these stores are closing. I had received the list with the words 'they are all closing'. People take these lists and send them all over the Internet and it gets people upset to the point they think that all stores are closing. There are a few that are closing their doors completely,but most aren't. | | | | | | | Nextel Accessories Cases, Headsets, Holsters, Data Kits, Chargers, Bluetooth, & More. www.discountcell.com | add comment | | | |

| | 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. | | | | | | | | | | Car Seats / Strollers Uppa, Baby Jogger, Orbit, Maclaren, Maxi Cosi, Peg Perego, Clek www.buttercupbabystore.com | add comment | | | |

| | 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. | | | | | | | | | | Military Car Lot Online Autos/Cycles/RVs/Boats--300+ Bases in US/Europe/Asia; 10,000+ Users MilitaryCarLot.com | add comment | | | |
