"What failed business in your area turned into a Halloween store this yea..."

This year our Vans shoe store in Clairemont failed, and is now a Halloween store.

Also an Aaron Brother's/Michaels framing store in the Midway district.

How about you?

By Atlantic Terminal in BK. It's been a Halloween store for the last few years but more recently it's been a skating rink which was DOPE!

One of them shits that put up a “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE” sign as soon as they open up somewhere, then they stay there for years.

I just moved to a new area and so I need to decorate. I decided to go to bed bath and beyond. While I knew they filed for bankruptcy and closed some stores, according to google one store that was a 30 minute drive away was still open. Ordinarily I might think to confirm this but you know how moving brain is…anyway I get to the shopping center, seeing the bed bath and beyond sign in the distance, only to get over a hill….and see the Halloween signs underneath lol.

Thankfully there was another home store nearby where I found some good shit.

I'll drive by our BBB and see if it is still there.

a bed, bath and beyond and the closest one is an off-brand furniture store.

that's a brilliant business model for them. scavenge strip malls that recently lost an anchor, get a couple of months of that good 'some money is better than no money' rental rates from these retail landlords. do they thing, and bounce.

they should affiliate w/ a christmas store, too.

peace & blessings,
