Tuesday Morning...farewell

[GentlemanJim]

Tuesday morning, please be gone, I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Just heard that both of the local Tuesday Morning stores in my area are set to close in conjunction with their impending bankruptcy. I used to love spending a rainy afternoon shopping over all the whatnots in their stores. Shame it had to come to this

Looks like the Tuesday Morning store in our town is still going, how strong I don't know. Our thriving beach town is a skelton of what it was and more closings since the virus.

I had some FUN visits to this store when I was still buying Stuff...

The other store that I had some Fun in the day, was Goodwill Store, lots of bargains and often some real quality finds. Salvation Army store too but it smelled in there...

I had never heard of this store.

The history of the store says 850 stores in the U.S. and headquarters are in Texas, never heard of it until it arrived here over 25 yrs ago. Perhaps it only opens in somewhat larger cities....is your city a large one?


Oh I just found this info on our store closing..I can only believe due to all the lockdowns and the last few years of damage that has been done.

They claim to be doing a deep discount clearance at the stores to be closed, so now might be a good time to visit.

I always saw them as a place to "accessorize" your living room, accents, throw pillows, doilies, stuff like that. They have considerably more, but those seemed to be the items they offered that I had the most use for.

I actually thought this chain had packed it in already (the one in my area closed a few years back). They filed for bankruptcy on February 14, 2023, this is the second filing, in the last filing they went from 850 stores to 490, wonder what if anything will be left after this filing.

Well, I tell you guys what I think is going on. Too many businesses were dependent upon the availability of borrowing cheap money. (BUT) With the Fed hiking interest rates, that has dried up, and instead of borrowing round XXXX to perpetuate the cashflow, they had to pay the piper. And the Piper drained them dry.

I had never even heard of Tuesday Morning until me and my mom were shopping at a mall during Christmas and the mall had a Tuesday Morning store and my mom and I decided to have a look to see what it was. And to my surprise Tuesday Morning reminded me of Big Lots with a mix of Factory2U and I thought it was cool. The late Lauren Bacall was the spokeswoman for Tuesday Morning and appeared in commercials for Tuesday Morning promoting sales in the 90's. It's a shame that Tuesday Morning is going broke because they are one of the underrated bargain/closeouts stores and those stores people should visit more because you can find better deals on almost anything you can imagine than at Walmart and Target. I think the popularity of Dollar Tree and 99 Cents Plus And Family Dollar stores really hurt the bargain closeout stores and that's caused Tuesday Morning to go broke and with newcomer DD's Discounts becoming popular I wonder if bargain closeout stores will go out of style in the future? I also wonder now that Tuesday Morning is now bankrupt I wonder if Big Lots will be next because you hardly hear nothing of Big Lots much anymore

I hadn't heard anything about the Tuesday Morning in my area, in Mishawaka, Indiana (adjacent to South Bend) -- but it's on the list. I bought a couple of decent Christmas gifts there this past season, but business seems to have really dropped off. A relatively new Home Goods store up the road does brisk business, so the stiff competition doesn't help.

Edit: A "Store Closing" email from them arrived in my box after 7 am, so my local one will be no more as well.

Well, we all know what comes after Tuesday morning...

Looks like it will join Stein Mart and, maybe soon, Bed Bath and beyond

BBB is on it's way out, Big Lots in our town went yrs ago to make room for Whole Paycheck Whole Foods....it's ironic that next door to this mega Whole Foods there is a busy 99cent store.....it's good that the poor and homeless can go into 99cent store to stay alive..

Listen to Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues. In the most relaxed way possible.

Thank me later.

Whole Paycheck Whole Foods is charging $10. for a pint of egg salad. Yikes.
