  4. 4

    well, fuck, if the 99 cent store goes i be straights up outta a job and shit



  5. 5

    i didn't even know mervyns still existed



  6. 6

    Linens N Things is closing! Maybe cuz its EXACTLY the same as Bed, Bath & Beyond. Same layout, same merchandise. Linens N Things is very expensive. I'd prefer to shop at Target



  7. 7

    Thats old news Perez…………………And a 99 cent store chain did close all its doors while back too.



  8. 8

    Mervyns closed down in my town about a year ago- the employees there told me that Mervyns West was all shutting down, so I think this has been going on pre-economy meltdown. What about Circuit City? I think they are about to go under…



  9. 9

    ….Mervyn's began closgin all of its stores over 2 years ago….c'mon…..get with the program dumbdick…



  10. 10

    chill out….that isn't necessarily because of the economy…those stores didn't have great business models in the first place and weren't highly competitive.



  11. 11

    Ball gargler.



  12. 12

    Bummer. I like Mervyns.



  13. 13

    well- The 99 cents only store chain was supposed to shut down here in Houston sometime this november.



  14. 14

    Re: SELENA4EVA – Not here .99 lives.



  15. 15

    Mervyns closed here like 8 years ago



  16. 16

    WallyWorld may be the only store left standing after Bush's 8-years of economic disaster finally comes to an end…

    MickeyD's will be our fine dining choice!

    Obama-Biden for a CHANGE!



  17. 17

    uh perez…mervyns been out of business for about 3 years now…



  18. 18

    Sadly enogh there is so much more to come. Merrill Lynch will be laying off thousands of employees soon !!!!!



  19. 19

    Linens and Things has been hurting for a long while now- Mervyn's is closing because they failed to keep up with changing demand and Kohl's moved in and stole what was left of their clientele. Yeah things suck, but these stores may have closed anyway in a healthy economy.



  20. 20

    WTF is Mervyn's? Is that a Northern thing?



  21. 21

    ROFLMFAO! THE 99 CENT STORE IS CLOSING ALL OVER TEXAS!! I WANNA BE THERE FOR THAT 50% OFF GOING OUT OF BUSSINESS SALE!!ALL STORES SHOULD BE CLOSED BY DECEMBER. FAMILY AND FRIENDS LOOOK OUT YOUR GETTING CRAP FOR CHRISSYMAS!



  22. 22

    "99 cents only" stores are going to be the only place that any of us will be able to afford to shop at soon!



  23. 23

    mervyns still was around?



  24. 24

    NOW PEREZ, THIS IS ANCIENT NEWS!!
    WE KNEW THIS OVER THE SUMMER WHEN THEIR SUPPLIERS STOPPED SHIPPING THEM NEW CLOTHES!



  25. 25

    I don't necessarily see this as a sign of the economy. Why would people pay more for things at Linens and Things, if they can get the same stuff cheaper at Target. There are no Mervyns here in New York, but I have seen them in WA. And I agree with the previous poster…. Kohls has taken a lot of business because they offer deep discounts. I believe this is referred to as capitalism.



  26. 26

    Uhm, this has been going on for a long time Perez. It isn't a shocking revelation. They filed for Chapter 11 back in July.



  27. 27

    Re: JembaBemba – your right. Jeez did not think of it that way until now



  28. 28

    our Mervyns closed a looong time ago..it's now a freakin MACYs. I hate MACYS!!!!!



  29. 29

    In MN, Mervyns has been closed for a long time, I've missed it! And I liked Bed Bath and Beyond better so I won't miss Linens N Things.



  30. 30

    DUH!! Geez this came out last weekend, dumbass.



  31. 31

    i love mervyns!!! theyre clothes are super cheap!! why!!!



  32. 32

  34. 34

    NEVER!! honey, the .99 cent only store is doing BETTER THAN EVER!!!! Invest in it now!!



  35. 35

    Mervyns has been in finacial hell for at least 20 years! They don't even have stores around here anymore, haven't for years!!



  36. 36

    Don't your read your sunday Paper? The mervyn's news was on Saturday! What's next Perez? are you going to report on The Starbucks that closed months ago? Geez get on it!



  37. 37

    oh nooooo, not the 99 cent store! :'(:'(:(:'



  38. 38

    We still have a mervyns here in Arizona. I feel like I stepped over the border- the isles are full of cheap crap and the music played on the intercom is all mexican music - plus try and find a salesperson- forget about it. Sorry but off to kohls I go with my wallet.



  39. 39

    Mervyns has been closing for months now perez…



  40. 40

    I think Mervyn's has been in some financial issues for awhile too…the local one closed about 4 years ago. No big deal, it wasn't that good of a store anyway.



  41. 41

    They all closed here about two years ago…

    WHERE are you hearing that this is current at all?



  42. 42

    this is really sad.. watching the economy fall apart first hand and i'm out of a job.. :(



  43. 43

    my son worked security at Mervyns when it was part of Target. It was sold and then quietly closed in my town years ago-we had two stores. I was never fond of the chain and maybe shopped once or twice. sad but not unexpected.



  44. 44

    99 cents store no please god no!!!!!



  45. 45

    yeah. some 99 cent stores are closing. lolz
