New Store Going Out Of Business
I was looking for inexpensive throw pillows for our game room today and I decided I would check at Dollar Max by Wal-Mart. The entire left side of the store was practically bare. I asked the store manager if they were going to get some new pillows in and she said they were going out of business!!

Already!! I wonder what went wrong. Anyway, I hate it for them and also that there will be a vacant store in a new shopping center even before a full year is up. If anyone is interested they had everything on huge sale. The sunglasses were marked down to .75 cents!

Re: New Store Going Out Of Business
Just because a new super Wal-Mart was built does not mean that every new business that came with it will survive.

I hate to say it, but they won't be the last one to go. I saw in another thread where GameStop was soliciting for customers in order to keep its doors open. I venture to say, but it won't be long before GameStop will succumb to the same fate.

Re: New Store Going Out Of Business
It does seem to be a trend. Has anyone else noticed how many of the strip mall stores are empty and how many payday loan businesses have open in Demopolis?

Re: New Store Going Out Of Business
It is sad that different types of business' seem to be closing around
Marengo County. We are in an area where it is hard to have the base of
customers that are needed to keep certain stores open.
I know Wal-Mart can take away a lot of customers, but if anyone has noticed
the new store is getting to look like the old one and the products are fast
disappearing and not being replaced. We need somewhere else to look for
what we need and get it at a reasonable price.
Sorry to see the Dollar store go.

As long as WalMart prospers small business will never be able to last. It is up to us to spread the wealth. Yes, one stop shopping is more convienent but the small businesses along with the extra jobs they bring are suffering.

Re: New Store Going Out Of Business
The rent for the building where Dollar Max is outrageous. I couldn't believe how much it was.
I had to stop and ask self,"Do I really need to be here", and self says,"Only in the cover of darkness."

I felt the same way in I went in there. They did have ballons for a very cheap price and I actually bought ballons from them on several occasions. I really hate to see them close but we have what....three other dollar stores in town? Maybe something different will move in that can make it... Maybe another "Check Cashing Place" since we seem to not have enough banks around here. As Stickman said about "Game Stop" maybe closing, I just hope they hold on for at least one Christmas season. Maybe things will pick up.

Re: New Store Going Out Of Business
I hated to hear they were closing! I am like Ranger though, I have no idea how anyone could pay the rent! It is Ridiculous!!!!
Noticed last night something is going in the old Tools for Learning building.
Anyone know what that is going to be?? I swear it looked like it could be a Cash/Title place!
