Party City and Big Lots to close nationwide; Toledo customers react

[@princessmarlena1359]

I’ve worked for Party City, Big Lots, Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Tuesday Morning, Border’s, GameStop, and many other retailers that are now bankrupt or about to be bankrupt. I’m not at all surprised by the outcomes, considering their business models.

Is everything in the World closing?? What is going on???

[@TroyHanson-ch6nm]

Democrats is what is going on. This stuff happens every time I've ever seen a democrat lead the country. Now maybe y'all will wake up. When someone steals your financial freedom it dont take long then to wake up huh 😁

The greatest depression and collapse we will ever see in our lifetime

[@abelhernandez2381]

The greater depression started about April 2022. The Democrats have been lying to us about the economy.

Dear Cherilyn, I remember in the late 90s my parents strapped a huge box patio set from Big Lots into the trunk of our 96 Corolla. That table and chairs is still outside today. It's been repainted at least twice. RIP Big Lots.

Whoever celebrated their birthdays on those two days, their birthdays were ruined.

[@baileez821]

As a former Party City employee, I can tell you that even before the announced bankruptcy, paydays had become arbitrary for us hourly employees. Almost everyone has direct deposit. Every two weeks, your money should be on the Party City debit card. Sometimes it would be, sometimes it wouldn't. That was two years ago. I'm surprised that they lasted this long.

Tax the rich and keep taxing them. This is what happens when you focus on taxing companies, they call quits

SHOP LOCAL (shop SMALL) ... or no stores with be left 😢

[@wturner777]

Not only that, but we should also advocate for better cities. This car-dependent culture needs to end so we can shop local again.

[@Variety1985]

@wturner777 I agree ... I live in a SMALL TOWN that allows me to WALK to all places. I have yet to own and drive a car 🚗

THANKS TO TARIFFS!! WE GET THESE GOODS AT A GOOD PRICE THANKS 2 IMPORTS…INCREASING TARIFFS ARE BAD 4 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT MILLIONAIRES DONT CARE!!

[@GoogleDoesEvil]

Those goods are subsidized with slave labor overseas. It's the billionaires that benefit most from this arrangement, not you.

[@MichaelTravis-v5y]

@ I benefit when I can get cheese 4 $5 instead of $18, & eggs 4 $6 instead of $15…those billionaires don’t care about the American people..those tariffs is not 2 help slave labor..it’s 2 flex a muscle not thinking about how they’re causing Americans that are already struggling, 2 struggle more 🙄

[@SE-me2pt]

​@@MichaelTravis-v5ysuggestion...try Aldi's, and cancel your cable. I'm gonna be bummed when Aldi goes away but at least I don't throw money away on commercial propaganda disguised as entertainment.

[@MichaelTravis-v5y]

@ I’ve actually never shopped there but heard good things about it.. I will definitely try them out

[@SE-me2pt]

@MichaelTravis-v5y lotsa folks catching on, they do have very good store brand stuff as well as some name brand. Meijer is close by my local so I can usually go for the better savings on similar stuff. Aldi usually (but not always) wins.

Jesus you people are clueless. More like to trump and his tariffs. He’s already admitted it’s going to get worse when he added even more tariffs on China.
