On Thursday, the company Officially announced plans Closing down a business is a result of financial difficulties caused by the pandemic. Other factors include changing consumer demand, rising inflation and changes in consumer behavior.
Mike Simoncic said, “This decision was extremely difficult and not the outcome that we hoped for or expected.” “Unfortunately, these last few years have been marked by significant and long-lasting challenges in the retail industry, including the unprecedented impact the COVID-19 Pandemic had, shifting consumer demands, increasing levels of shrinkage, persistent inflationary forces and other macroeconomic headwinds. All of which have severely hindered the Company’s ability to operate.”
The popular discount shops were known for the wide variety of products at reasonable prices, including household items, fresh groceries and snacks, office supplies and supplies, health and cosmetics, party supplies and supplies, and much more.
