With the overnight closing of another Chicagoland store, you almost have to wonder which one will be next. I think the stores in Wheaton & Dekalb are safe for now and Loyola will probably be safe until March Madness, but will any of the other 41ers last until 2022? I think Dixon is next, but nothing would surprise me anymore.
The former Region 41 stores are the closest to the home office, so I think that they are a good measure of the direction that the company is headed is, but I don't know if other regions are having the same problems.
