The Changing Stores

(15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009) I think this will be something that is very interesting to watch in the next few months. What companies will go down with this economy. It will also be interesting to watch what company types come back when this thing turns around and what type of store are gone forever. I'm also interested in seeing how liquidation sales affect the other retailers. How is Best Buy doing when you can go to the closing Circuit City and get 10 to 20 percent off the same TVs.
