Buy Buy Acme Markets, will give them 2 years max. Albertsons was big in South, and now no one shops there.. Hechingers was sold to an investment firm, lasted 2 years till they ran into the ground after making record profits on selling off inventory and making deals for 50c on the dollar to pay off debt, and massave layoffs.
Here, an inventment firm comes in for the short term kill to make high profits, run them into the ground, have bankruptcy or going out of business sales with outside companies inflating the prices and marking them down to make even more.. Only losers are the employees.
