It seems that some of our vendors know more about what is going on, and they seem to have no problem disclosing it.
Yesterday I talked to one of ours as they were being checked in and they informed me that the SM at one of the stores in my locale told his employees that their store is closing, but there has been no official word as of yet and that store is not on a previously announced list. Another vendor later in the day told me that there are two stores in my district that are on "the list."
Does this sound like another round of store closings is in the works, or is the company going to start quietly closing stores to try and avoid more negative media?
