We always seem to hear to things going out of business, but never of things going into business. Just went to a brand new H.H.Gregg that opened up here. They opened 2 stores in town, I think, both moved into old Circuit City stores. Interesting store. Must have had 500 flat screen tv's in boxes on the floor, anticipating to sell them all. Could have done without the pushy sales staff, but overall, a new store, many 100's of people back to work. Good to see.
Across the street, a new REI opened up. Glad to see that open. Love that store. Saw one on the west coast several years ago. Again, lots more jobs there for people.
Across the parking lot from that, a Home Goods store opened last month. In the same parking lot, there's a Whole Foods that opened up about 6 months ago.
Considering what's on the news every day, there sure seem to be a lot of new stores opening up around here. Either they know something the news doesn't, or they are stupid
How about your area? Got anything opening up?
