Hallmark stores are closing, like you said. KFCs are becoming extinct. Why so many remain open is a question mark to me since delis at local grocery stores sell friend and baked chicken at half the price. The Ross (Dress for Less) stores in this area are tacky with shopping carts that have poles on them so they can tell where the shoppers are located. I shop at our local TJ Maxx, always clean, organized and always find bargains there.
TJMaxx is always packed with customers here. HOME GOODS is so crowded I dread going there. They are doing something right.
Ahh, I hadn’t thought about KFC until you mentioned. The local KFC also shut down a couple of months ago.
On the Ross Ghetto Store carts, they have that pole also so you can’t get them out of the store, they hit a barrier (the homeless love shopping carts).
