Usenet AccountRE: The negative comments about the company following the linked article. Sad for everyone involved, but it's not uncommon. Publicly talking about a possible closing guarantees you'll go over the edge; I can only assume the owners (perhaps foolishly, but optimistically) held out hope to the end.

If anyone remembers the Camera Craft chain in NY/NJ in the middle 70's, that's what happened there. I was a store manager at the time, and wound up being chased out the door by the sheriff, who chained it shut.
A couple of the managers who got wind of it the day before, basically brought vans and stole the stores empty. Far as I know, it was never even noticed.
