> I was shopping at our local Walmart store yesterday and overheard,(not ease dropping, just walking by) two other customers talking that Eljer may be leaving, pulling out and going down south where the wages aren't as high. Anybody else hear this? I sure hope our esteem commissioners look into this one...
This rumor has been circulating for MANY years. Nothing is forever and it
could burn down tomorrow and everyone would be out of work without it closing and moving. I heard a rumor 3 years ago that the Walmart was closing and would become a Sam's Warehouse. I haven't seen that happen yet. When Ames opened, the rumor was Jamesway was going under. How many
years was it before it closed? When Walmart opened, Ames was doomed but
how many years before it purchased Zayres and Hills Department stores before it filed bankruptcy?
Just remember, it isn't over until the fat lady sings!! :-)
