Badcock's Plus More to Close

 

Look for a store closing sale at Badcock's in Florence Plaza. The furniture giant has announced it will be eliminating stores in Florence, Athens, Decatur, Huntsville, Scottsboro, Fort Payne, and Cullman.

There's been a lot of chatter about Big Lot's, but so far the Troy store is the only definite location to announce its closure. Bankruptcy is a distinct possibility at this point. 

Other rumors? Family Dollar has only two Lauderdale County locations left, with 300 more projected store closings for the second half of this year.

We've been asked about Big Man's Barbecue in North Florence. Rest assured that store has been closed only for vacation and will re-open on July 31st.

Retail is not what it once was. Get used to it.
