Nine Retailers Closing the Most Stores

Wall Street 24X7 ^ | 03/13/2014 | By Douglas A. McIntyre and Alexander E.M. Hess

[Robert A Cook PE]

Buy UPS: About 40% of their deliveries are from Amazon.

But really, why go to a specific store, when EVERYTHING in every store you go has the same exact copies of the same Chinese-made junk at all just about the same price?

[GeronL]

#1,2,4 & 7 can kiss my butt. Not sorry to see them go.

[Hardastarboard]

That’s part of the 0bama recovery, yo. Good thing Democrats haven’t learned the term “creative destruction” that’s been used to describe capitalism. That’s all we’d have heard for the last 5 years.

I never understood the bad rap Walmart got. Many other retailers sell the same cheap crap they do. If I’m going to end up with cheap crap I might as well race them to the bottom and pay the lowest price.

[ConorMacNessa]

Guilty! I shop until the postman drops at Amazon.com.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV) Guilty

Radio shack has been going down hill for years it used to be a place to actually get parts for radios or a larger selection of electronic parts for hobbyist like myself but now its just a phone and toy store.

[Perdogg]

I have a BN card so I get free shipping and a discount for $25 a year.

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS

CHANGE THE STUPID NAME!

When I hear radioshack that’s exactly what I think of. A shack filled with spare parts and nothing else. It doesn’t make we want to go there to buy electronics.

[ConorMacNessa]

Actually, I also buy most of my clothes from Macy's - online, of course. I group my purchases to get free shipping.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

I thought Aeropostale was doing OK - their clothes are generally well made and decently priced (unlike A&F’s Hollister crap).

[Perdogg]

and they all have that smell.

[Alas Babylon!]

What do you think about Pizza Hut?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Doesn’t effect me at all. The only store on the list that I’ve actually shopped in the past DECADE is B&N - and only because a good friend gives me a $25 B&N Gift Card for my birthday each year. I buy a book I want to read, read it, then sell it on Amazon for at least half of it’s retail value.

But, I’m cheap. The only thing I buy new are undergarments and socks and shoes.

And, FWIW, I spent $20 at Goodwill today and that bought me enough books to take me through the next 6 months. Adult books of any kind - $1.49 a pop! Life. Is. Good...when you know where to shop.

Movies and CDs? My Library. My Tax Dollars At Work! :)

[Jane Long]

They just raised their “Prime” fee to $99.00/yr. Business is good!

Stupid Americans buy the Chinese-made junk because they need a LIFE. They buy MINDLESSLY.

I always thought that if a bride spent as much time on her MARRIAGE as she did on her WEDDING there would be almost NO divorces. MISPLACED, MINDLESS spending on one dress and one event...and to heck with the MARRIAGE.

[GeronL]

And wasn’t that a stupid decision!

[stars & stripes forever]

“I also buy most of my clothes from Macy’s - online, of course.”

Good move - Macy’s allow male transgenders to change in the women’s department.

[GeronL]

Goodwill sells “adult books”??

Another sign of the end times!!
