More companies file Bankruptcy . (possible hoax). .

Post by karat »

I just got this from a friend, I know that some of the store (of certain ones) are not all closing. But check in your area. I guess on the bright side we may get the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction cheaper....

The following companies just filed for Bankruptcy on April 29, 2008:

Hollywood Video
Levitz
Sharper Image
Performance Team Freight
Linens n Things
Circuit City
Bed, Bath and Beyond

If you have gift cards from the above list USE THEM ASAP, they will not be valid for much longer.

PASS THE WORD

They just opened a Circuit City next to me ( it's a smaller one)!!!!....so i'd think that one would be safe....and i think either a L&T or a BB&B just opened a month or 2 ago!!

A lot of those companies have been in Ch. 11 for a while. Hollywood Video for a long while, so has Levits, Sharper Image. Only one I know that was recent was Linens n Things. Circuit City isn't in bankruptcy yet, I don't think.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

This is very true (pwi), but you never know...and it is legal tender in the stores - therefore they can pull it at any time

Chicago Tribune had a story the other day that Linen And Things is closing a lot of stores (including the one near me) and they file Chapter 11 and try to reorganize to survive.

If it's an e mail and says pass the word, delete it. Don't waste people's time with crap or risk them with a virus. My wife came home with a printout from that unknown source. :roll:

Gift cards are flakey even when a company is in good health.

Lay off the poor guy! He just came out of his fallout shelter and is trying to get caught up. Imagine his disappointment that there weren't any WMD's after all.
