This is merely a guess, but I don't think there's going to be another round of massive closures, at least not for awhile. I think it'll be store by store as their leases end. I still keep in touch with a couple of people in my old district, and this last round of staggered closures (in their district anyway) were all stores that originally showed up on that huge list when Dish first took over but were ultimately "saved" when their leases were renegotiated for two more years. Those new leases are up, so they're closing. And they just found out that one more store, whose lease is up in June, will begin their liquidation sale this month. If that's the way it goes, three more in that district would close by the end of the summer, leaving six or so whose leases don't end until something crazy like 2016. My guess is they'll be on the next, and final, round of mass closures whenever Dish decides to pull the plug.
