Pier 1 Collapsing



There is a Pier 1 store about 10 minutes from where we live.

In 15 years, I think we've been inside that store 4..... maybe 5 times.  It's just not a store we enjoy.


Doesn't sound like we're alone.


Pier 1 is the latest retailer to announce big troubles:

Pier 1 Imports on Monday said it intends to close up to 450 locations, or almost half its fleet of 942 stores, as it unexpectedly reported quarterly earnings amid bankruptcy rumors.

Pier 1′s losses have been mounting, as its sales decline. And this latest quarter was no exception. Its third-quarter loss widened from a year ago, as same-store sales declined 11.4%.


Same-store sales declining 10%.  Yeah, that's a problem.  Big problem.
