A Connecticut Based Store Chain To Close All Locations

Not too long ago, I was actually in this specific store in the Holyoke Mall and wondered why they were having big sales. I thought it was just an inventory blowout sale but it turns out, it was a going out of business sale.

According to News8, Bob's Stores which is based out of Middletown, Connecticut announced that the company will close all locations and liquidate all remaining inventory due to chapter 11 bankruptcy.

“Going out of business” sales will consist of discounts from 30 to 70% off and gift cards and merchandise credits will also be honored before the stores close for good.

“Despite making swift and aggressive changes to the company’s structure and operations, Bob’s Stores was unable to secure the finances needed to maintain operations. - Hilco Merchant Resources

• Ansonia: 409 Main St
