We have been hearing for quite some time now of layoffs from many companies throughout the country, retailers as well as most other industries. Given how things are in the current economy we can likely expect more store closings.
Recent big news of layoffs included Home Depot, with the announcement of closing their Home Expo showrooms that carry higher-end home remodeling supplies and furnishings for every room in the house. Our local Home Expo Store in Encinitas (right over the Carlsbad line off of El Camino Real and Leucadia Boulevard) is included in those closings.
The time could be right to stop in and see what kind of deals remain on all the great products they offer for your kitchen, bath, your floors or elsewhere in your home. My understanding from friends is that things are getting pretty well picked over so don't miss out.
Interestingly, the new Expo concept store for Home Depot was established in San Diego in 1991. But it seems the stores have never been quite the money maker that Home Depot hoped for, and with declining revenues, the closing makes sense. A loss for many, however, especially in terms of jobs.
