I've never seen "links or it didn't happen". In fact, we know you've said just the opposite. You can't say anything different without a link to you saying it different. My link is better than yours!!!!!
@1ftk+1eVdzJGB No, not at all. All you see from me is "links or it didn't happen" I didn't write that it HAS to be a SB360 link. Astor Place, Bronx, and a few others closed without SB360 Liquidations. DUH! What I am criticizing is UNLINKED closings, of which this was NOT one, so it doesn't apply.
@mgz+1eVdzJGB BULL. All I keep reading is "If it's not on 360's site IT'S NOT CLOSING"
Make up your minds already
Transformco almost never issues press releases, about store closings or anything else. I wonder why they felt the need to issue this one.
Nobody here claimed it HAD to be on SB360 if closing. Several stores closed without liquidating, but that is only when there are other stores nearby to transfer sh!t too, as is the case here. But there IS a link to the closing. My criticism is to the idi0ts who wrongly claim closings, without links, which turn out to be false, as in Jersey City, Avenel, Tukwila, Union Gap, so many others. This closing is linked so it's fine. But I maintain, links or it didn't happen. Don't go around ever claiming closings without links. Again, this one is linked and fine. But don't post it without SOME kind of link (SB360 link, job closing link, Transformco link such as this one, etc.). SOME or the other link is necessary. My criticism is only of UNLINKED closings. This one IS linked, so it doesn't fall into that category.
and the "it has to be on SB360 for it to be closing". Boy were they proved wrong.
And some people thought Sears could abruptly close down a store immediately with no warning. Look for more closures like this.
I'm guessing that everything in the Fort Lauderdale store will go to Palm Beach Gardens, or the Sears and Kmart locations down in Miami? It looks like the Miami Sears location is also a stand-alone building, with a lot of high-rise apartments around it. It just wondered whether it's possible that the Miami Sears could meet a similar fate as Fort Lauderdale at some point.
I do wonder, since the redevelopment plan for this store was announced two years ago, why did they need to close this store abruptly with no advance notice?
I don't make up fake links. I first saw it on prnewswire.com and then on Transformco's own website.
Video alert! Oh wait, he already released a botched vid with a bogus closing announcement on this one months ago lol!
Here's a better link, to a press release on Transformco's website:
