Retail Rumors 1/6th True
After hearing false stories regarding his own demise, Mark Twain quipped that "...the rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated". The same is true with rumors circulating regarding a huge retail demise in Manitowoc.
Lowes in not closing.
Charcoal Grill is not shutting down.
Newey's is not closing it's doors.
Hobby Lobby has no intent of ceasing business.
Family Dollar, too, is doing very well, thank you.
Unfortunately, both for the employees and for faithful customers like myself, the word I received from the store manager at Big Lots is that the Manitowoc store is closing as of January 15, 2006. It appears the closing is part of a system-wide effort to increase profits. The store manager also mentioned that Big Lots' lease terminates on January 15th, hence the choice of that date for shut down.
We will miss Big Lots and the associates who served us there and hope they quickly find new employment. Big Lots has been an appreciated business in Manty since 1994. Thanks for the friendly service and amazing array of merchandise at great prices!
