| I am so sad I found out they are going to close the girls store Libby LU, About a month ago one of my favorite restaurants went out also. It just seems we are losing good businesses and My Husband says its probably just gonna get worse.

| Not sure if you all have Mervyns stores out there, but they are closing too. They will all be closed by Dec. 23. And get this, Mervyns is owned by Target. The girl at the store the other day said Target is next. They are going to close most of them, if not all, after the first of the year. She said Walmart hit them pretty hard, so they have no choice but to close down

| I wasnt meaning to make a political message. I just think the Country is in such turmoil right now with the Wall street crisis. These two places were chains and had stockholders. Yorkiegirl I am sorry your dad lost his business. I just cant imagine the struggles of the small business person. My Husband has a small business and so far its been unaffected

| Lots of things are shutting down here. Several stores announced going out of business in the last month.

| Good!!! I asked my Husband about that and he said he heard they may close some underperforming stores. I was really upset to hear that I do ALOT of my shopping at Target.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I just don't believe Target's will close. The products that they offer, and the merchandise is far superior to Wal-Mart's. I know most of my friends, and myself are willing to pay a little more, and get in and out of a Target store faster. Also, their stores are also so much more neat, and organized. But, it could happen. We had 2 small Wal-Marts here, and a K-Mart. After wal-mart opened 2 supercenters, K-mart closed. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Tell your husband it doesn't matter if Wal-mart is American owned or not, they still import from overseas--remember when Wal-Mart had "made in the USA" stickers everywhere? Wal-mart has actually hurt American owned small businesses! My husband and I watched a documentary about Wal-Mart and their mentality--I think it was on TLC-last month. There were big-wigs actually saying that wal-mart justifies paying its employees lower wages, by saying the lower income will allow them to qualify for government assistance. They then posted the amount of wal-mart employees who received Medicaid or foodstamps-by state--it was staggering. More food for thought...wal-mart has a foundation set up for its employees to provide assistance to other employees...and they do. The Walton family donated only 4k to charities last year. Target is far more involved in the community. |
