Something Strange Is Happening Across America—When You Find Out What You’ll Have a Deep Desire To Prepare!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Lisa Haven

 

“Empty”, that is the word to describe the countless malls, shopping centers, office buildings and other stores across America which are shutting their doors due to the economy diving, and all this is happening as our government continues to lie to the populace, stating that our economy is headed in the right direction. Meanwhile the debt clock strikes past midnight, and multiple economists are sounding the alarm to the masses.

 

To be frank, either something strange is happening across America or we are already living in the beginning of the next Great Depression.

 

The video below reveals what the government doesn’t want you to know about these closing centers and how bad things really are. Please don’t miss this critical report:

 

 

 

According to Off The Grid News Here are 16 companies that have closed stores or will before early 2015:

 

1. Office supply company Staples has announced plans to close 225 stores by 2015, which is about 15 percent of its chain. Staples already closed 40 stores last year. Industry analysts expect Staples’ main competitor, Office Depot, which bought OfficeMax last year, to announce its own round of store closings soon.

 

2. Radio Shack has announced plans to close 20 percent of its stores this year, which is as many as 1,100 stores. The company, which operates around 4,000 stores, reported that its sales fell by 19 percent last year.

 

3. Albertsons closed 26 stores in January and February according to Supermarket News. Analysts expect many more Albertsons could soon be shuttered because Albertsons owner hedge fund Cerberus Capital Management just bought Safeway Inc. Some Safeway stores could soon shut down as well.

 

4. Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch is planning to close 220 stores by the end of 2015. The company is also planning to shut down an entire chain it owns, Gilly Hicks, which has 20 stores, 24/7 Wall Street reported.

 

5. Barnes & Nobles is planning to shut down one third of its stores in the next year: about 218 stores. The chain has already closed its iconic flagship store in New York City.

 

6. J.C. Penney is closing about 33 stores and laying off about 2,000 employees.

7. The Record newspaper in New Jersey reported that Toys R Us has plans to close 100 stores.

 

8. The Sweetbay Supermarket chain will close all 17 of the stores it operates in the Tampa Bay area, The Herald Tribune newspaper reported. Many of the stores might open as Winn-Dixie Stores. Sweetbay closed 33 stores in Florida last year.

 

9. The entire Loehmann’s chain of discount clothing stores in the New York City area shut down. Loehmann’s once operated 39 stores, The New York Times reported, and was considered an institution by generations of New Yorkers.

 

10. Industry analyst John Kernan told CNN that he expects Sears Holdings, which owns both Sears and Kmart, to close another 500 stores this year. Sears has already shut down its flagship store in Chicago.

 

11. Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy, USA Today reported, and could close many of its 2,100 stores.

 

12. Sbarro which operates pizza and Italian restaurants in malls, is planning to close 155 locations in the United States and Canada. That means nearly 20 percent of Sbarro’s will close. The chain operates around 800 outlets.

 

13. Ruby Tuesday announced plans to close 30 restaurants in January after its sales fell by 7.8 percent. The chain currently operates around 775 steakhouses across the US.

 

14. An unknown number of Red Lobster stores will be sold. The chain is in such bad shape that the parent company, Darden Restaurants Inc., had to issue a press release stating that the chain would not close. Instead Darden is planning to spin Red Lobster off into another company and sell some of its stores.

 

15. Ralph’s, a subsidiary of Kroger, has announced plans to close 15 supermarkets in Southern California within 60 days.

 

16. Safeway closed 72 Dominick’s grocery stores in the Chicago area last year.

 

Also according to Retail Info System News here are retailers (listed by number of store closings and date), including downsizing and company bankruptcies:

              Oh hey Equalizer, I thought you would have been in an internment camp by now. By the way, are you and Lisa dating? You guys can both share the clap.

            • apache5

              Super and Cluck,
              when we reach the debt ceiling I hope that it means you guys on the paid government troll list will be laid off and we can get a break from your idiot remarks!!! :twisted:

            • SuperMario

              Dear apache5,
              Thank you for your concern about my personal situation but I will be perfectly fine though. I live on 40 acres, have deer and turkey all over my property, have a natural water source and plenty of guns. I can survive when/if SHTF, can you?

              How many more years of these type of fear porn articles do you want to see? It has been going on for years, maybe you are addicted to fear porn and should get help.

            • apache5

              Super ,
              I very seriously DOUBT, you live anywhere BUT a BIG city and a small apartment, and I will not fall for your (how do you live) but all I will say is the govies trained me VERY well and I WILL survive. in any scenario!

            • SuperMario

              Cool apache5, I’m glad you will survive. Now enjoy life instead of calling those of us “paid government trolls” who who like to have fun on the fear queens B.I.N. articles. Besides you affinity for Lisa, we actually may have more in common than not.

          • Equalizer

            Stupor …I have 220 acres and a concealed weapons license. So kiss my A$$.
            Molon labe shill.

            • SuperMario

              Cool Equalizer. I don’t want to kiss your A$$ though. What is your problem anyway? Don’t you know that the alternative media has been infiltrated by fear porn?

My elite friend has just given me some important breaking news concerning the closure of shopping malls and the destruction of the economy, that I want to share with you with some urgency……

      • Theyshallbe4signs

        jknbt, I had the same thought about more people buying online. At our house, we spend more time having products delivered than we do driving around, wasting time and gas. Why not have UPS or FedEx carry stuff up your driveway while you finish making a meal to enjoy or watching a movie or doing more important things? There are so many virtual malls online now that the choices are astounding. These mega warehouses sell the same kind of brands as the stores but often at a more manageable price to the consumer. If I have to go to a Walmart or Home Depot for example, is it still coming from an online warehouse? Yep. And those warehouses employ folks to ship all that product. And the delivery companies still have to employ people to bring it to my house. Why on earth would I want to go to a mall anymore when I can sit there in a cozy bathrobe and sip coffee in the morning and do my necessary shopping without ever leaving my home? I still support some of my local hometown stores, don’t get me wrong. But I’ll be darned if I am going to travel some 20-30 miles to be exposed to every little kid who just got a nasal flu vaccine and should’ve stayed home for 2 weeks. Nevermind all that mall noise that I don’t need. I am sure the economy may be playing a large roll, but isn’t it probable that the economy is also driving more of us online to find things we need at a better price point?

      • santiago

        Just to be honest: that’s what some of the malls in Spain looked like,when the crap hit the fan in October 2008.Just for the record…

        • santiago

          Lisa,what you have noticed in your town mall and the bigger city’s mall is exactly what is happening in some countries in Europe since few years…not a good sign…

      Brother Hodges sent me a special e-mail saying that the lizard aliens inhabiting Dulce, NM have bought these malls to turn them into huge “resteraunts” which are being called FEMA camps, where we will meet our demise. Our last decision will be what kind of sauce we want covering us when we come off their special grills. Well done.

      God Bless Brother Hodges!!!!!!!!!

      [TABUSE SYSTEM] is the biggest taboo in the world…

      What is the [TABUSE SYSTEM]? (TABUSE SYSTEM is famous in Japan.)

      ・All of wars are fake.
      ・All of religions are cabal tool.
      ・If I occupy the opponent ideas (or organizations), I can completely control all its matter.Therefore I should occupy all ideas and organizations with farce friction strategically.
      ・Only owning all central banks in the world and the right of controlling the gold price come to the world ruler.

      Hello Angle#1,

      Charlie here. Yes, it happens time to time. Overreach. These dead shops and malls are often replaced with donut shops, Star*ucks and what not.

      But these pictures encourage me to be “the last man standing”. I am making plans to raid the doughnut shops and wait it out.

      Signed,

      Charlie (last man standing with the doughnuts wins!) :lol:

    • Ideas Time

      It is not that people don’t like the business that are closing down, it is because they are broke just paying for rent, food, utilities and taxes that take most of their money.

    • kauai999

      every-body these days is shopping at COSTCO .. it is always extremely buzy there, even the gasoline sales, will take a 10 – 15 minute wait. as far as grocery’s .. people here in oregon/washington go to WINCO .. its always buzy there, try checkin’ out a safe-way, albertsons .. its pretty much a ghost town in there. would you pay $3.09 for 12 eggz at safe-way, when you can get it for $2.19 at winco? oh yeah, ROSS stores .. the check-out line is always a 10+ minute wait. never a dull moment in there. granted, some-of those items may have come from a higher priced dept. store such as macy’s .. but for much less there.

    • Awakened Soul

      I work for a top frieght company, business is booming. Trust when I say that if our economy is about to imploded all the freight company’s in this country will be the first to notice. Stop the fear mongaring! Help the world in a positive way or go away!!!

      Credibility means nothing on this site. You can predict and be wrong and back those who predict and are wrong and it means nothing to you. You just continue posting things that everyone else can find with a Google search and a few hours of free time.

      Ever occurred to you that building malls in the middle of nowheres is NOT profitable?? We had a WM built in some middle of nowhere – you know build it and THEY Shall come guess what?? It lasted 2 YEARS!1 Now the building is falling into decrepitude ’cause it’s WAY TO BIG to rent.

      TO all military and patriots now is the time to fly our AMERICAN FLAG UP SIDE DOWN.

    • you know what youve been taught

      the biggest thing here thats not being talked about is commerce, more and more people today use square money at the grocery store paying at the pump and on line purchases and so on. think about supporting you local retailer and dollars going into you community instead of going someware else no retail sales tax in your area will be made up by more tax on property were else will it come from, people today all have ideas but we all should regain control of commerce, ever bought anything online and needed to return I have and that event will only happend once with me, a face behing the sale is what I am after. look back 25 years and compare to currant times and ask yourself a question; only game in town is going to be walmart and other big box stores and all the labels on the products will go from general mills to great value its happening right in front of yours eyes so the question is do you want control of how you spent your money or not because thats the path were on is no malls, on line purchases only for everything walmart dont stock, also keep in mind cant use cash online {seems like a set up to eliminate people controlled commerce }
