Do you think managers have already been told if their store is closing? or are they in the dark like the rest of us?
The number of closing stores is very specific, so I'm positive the list has already been made. The only question is when it will be shared with the rest of us.
SM no nothing. They are kept in the dark until right before you’re told.
It will probably be released on or before noon CST today, if we are going by how it was usually done in the past.
I may be wrong. they may drag this on for an extra day or two - remember when they released a list of stores to close earlier this year and it turned out that they "weren't sure" about closing oh, seven or eight stores or something like that? Alas, 142 is a very specific number.
I can answer this as No. I have no clue which stores are closing at this time. This is not something I would hold back from our associates
Select stores got a email to be on a 9:15 cst conf call, fingers crossed it the closing announcement. There is no way to announce them in person today.
