            I'll have to check. They seemed as good as ever when I went past them this week.

            I know once before they had a sign that made me think they were closeting, but it was just sales hype.

            Pretty soon the price on that "leg lamp" from A Christmas Story and the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree will fall.

              I stopped by to check out the signs. Yes, the store is closing. 20-50% off. All sales final. And even "Store Closing" signs. No indication as to what the final day will be. I wasn't able to speak to the staff.

                  Yep, liquidation sale still happening. All stores in Hawaii closing. Got a special edition copy of "Band on the Run" by McCartney / Wings for $17. Two CD set, 1 DVD... nice addition to my Wings collection.

                  There was a line yesterday. Almost half of the store is empty. People are buying stuff.

                  Another "record" store closing... soon only iTunes and maybe Amazon left.

                    Every cloud has a Silver inside.
                    The retreat of the big box stores gives opportunities to
                    local businesses.

                      Or not - I buy more online than elsewhere, but at least I'm supporting our local post office!
                      May I always be found beneath your contempt.

                        I used to work at this location when it WAS Sam Goodys.... All that yellow interior was unheard of yet and it was an actual/typical music/video audio store back in the day. Around 1994/95 and when I used to live in town at the time. When I learned from a friend that i worked with announced that the store is shuterring I got sad. The internet, amazon and itunes definately took an impact, see what happened to Tower Records?

                            It was just announced that Sports Authority is moving into the large former Border's Books space at Windward Mall. Very good!
                            .
                            .

                            That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                              Looks like Sears at AMC will be winding down early next year.

                              Any guess on what replacements? Sounds like GGP wants smaller retailers in place.

                                Wall Street Journal weighs in on the story, saying that, of the $270 million General Growth disclosed that it’s paying Sears, the portion attributable to the Sears at Ala Moana ranges from $200 million to $250 million; that space is the prize of the deal for the eleven sites.
