99 cents only calls it quits

Also they announced this late this afternoon and liquidation sales start tomorrow morning...?

Maybe this is the "missing link" for those sign people that looked like they were connected to Rite Aid?

Thus, they had an idea it might very well happen and that is why they wanted people ready to go since it would be starting very quickly?

No, because the sign people were seeking sign walkers in OR,WA,ID. 99 Only is not in those states.

The sign people were not seeking sign walkers on TX, AZ, or NV and 99 Only is in those states.

Also the rural communities which was hundreds of rural communities seeking sign walkers don't have any 99 Only. 99 Only does not operate in rural communities typically they are in 30k+ population areas.

But whatever people they recruited in some parts of CA for those Craigslist ads, some of them in the larger areas will now have a project to be put on.

Some of the locations - not the inner city locations - in suburban & exurban areas are going to be hot commodities for new tenants. Especially in expanding areas like the Temecula Valley where very few storefronts are vacant.

In my city, Menifee, California, Trader Joe's has unsuccessfully been seeking a location (until now only a former Rite Aid - in a Stater Bros. shopping center - has been available & Stater's has an exclusive). Local politicos I've chatted with today believe they will aggressively be in the running for the location in my city. It has a beer & wine license, is a portion of a former Albertsons, plus there is a gym in the center already so no competition from them. Plus a Grocery Outlet is soon to be built just over a block away on the opposite side of the street so they won't be in play for it.

There are NOT doing closeout sales yet. I visited the Chandler AZ location and no sales everything at full price.

Maybe some locations will not be having it and move all of the items to other stores.

Ollie’s could be interested in some of the non California 99c locations, especially in Texas (where they have existing locations).
