Those 6 Sam's stores are all in southern Ontario. Canada already had warehouse stores that were thriving when Sam's tried to corner a share of the market. Looks like even Walmart is overextended, and is cutting back.

Re: sz – I was about to say the same, I'm from Vancouver and I have never seen a Sam's Club in my life. I don't think I've ever even seen a Walmart IN Vancouver. They definitely stick to the 'burbs.

Nice one Perez. This was in an office memo that was received by managers at 3:30pm today. They are closing and relaunching with a different format and new name…probably all food.

while they are closing the 6 sam's clubs, they are opening 26 superstores this year…oh boy!
they are also in talks with lowe's home inprovement warehouse to take over the sam's club locations - converting them to lhiw, natch.
so it's all good in the hood.

are there any us retailers rolling out new locations this year? i'm thinking maybe gas stations, not sure tho.

I work for Walmart. My boss treats me like shit. But that's my own fault. I totally put myself in the position to have to work here. Call it a sting in the ass if you will.
Walmart only really wants to hire expendable white/black trash that can carry out simple ,But easy to use (small) task to preform.
I unfortunately work in the wireless department where you have a better class of white/black trash working. But they still act the same in the end. sigh
BUT AT LEAST I GOT A JOB sigh

The reason why Wal-mart is closing their 6 Sam's Club stores is because Costco was beating their ass! They couldn't compete. So, instead…Wal-mart will be opening 26 more Supercenters in 2009, and hiring 5,000 people. Canada does not need anymore Big box retailers. City Councils around Canada should stop this. It's killing the downtowns!

Read the article…there are only 6 of them in all of Canada and they are being replaced by 26 Supercenters…this will actually result in a net gain so Congratulations, Canada are in order.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
