Probably not closing nearly as many as Sears will be this year.
But as far as "wholesale clubs" go, Sam's is running a distant third in a three horse race down in my neck of the woods. I'm actually surprised they're not closing more.

Nah...this has been in the works for a while. Wally World should never have gotten into the wholesale club biz.

When credit is taken for the good news, responsibility must also be taken for the not so good news.Not that I'm holding my breath or anything.

How bout the company taking responsibility for poor planning/management and poor business decisions? Businesses laid off and failed under Obama, but never grew.
No matter how many GREAT things Trump does, he'll never be given credit.A poll today said 49℅ give credit to Obama for the surge in the economy----all morons, and they're allowed to vote
7 MORE YEARS 7 MORE YEARS!!

He wasn't, but that didn't stop him from taking credit when there was good news there.

Not necessarily. Trump was a key, proactive player in the tax cuts -- but not so much with calling the business shots at Carrier.

Do you recall what that good news was? Was the good news that no one at Carrier would lose their jobs or was the good news that Carrier's operation stay stateside?
And what is the worse news: That Carrier move and many hundreds of Americans lose their jobs or Carrier stays here and a couple of hundred lose theirs?

They are all getting 60 days severance or a position at Walmart or another Sam’s Club
I knew it was coming from our local rumor mill in the chamber of commerce. They are getting their asses kicked by Costco

Trump asked senators why the U.S. accepts immigrants from “shithole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations
