4 stores in my district are closing- that means there will be no Blockbuster in a town of 85,000 people that when I started with the company had 4 in her town limits! They just found out today- Merry Fucking Christmas Dish Style! My store is not one of the 4 but to those that are closing- Good Luck!

Four stores in my area have suddenly closed up as well. The first store we were told the landlord sold the lease out from under them. However, nothing has moved into the building since then, so I have my doubts... not even a new company in there remodeling or anything.

The second store recently closed and we were told the lease story song and dance again.

TWO more stores are closing SOON...I believe by the end of the year.

I am not buying the land lord sold the lease out from under them BS line anymore.

Dish doesn't want stores. They marked down our prices to get enough money to start up their on demand service and that's it! They are shutting them down as fast as they can. They used us and will loose us! Fucked over and they didn't even buy us dinner or take us to a movie!

Ps. Employees shouldn't steal if your store is going to close.........Many people are doing this as their store is closing down. There has been a lot of reports. Also, I hear they might purse you even if you quit before they know.

There is only one store left in my state. At the beach. WTF. No business in winter, and the summer folk aren't there to watch movies.

Yeah, the lease thing could just be a line DMs are forced to sell to store employees to take the blame off of DISH so bitter employees don't rob them blind on the way out.

If these closings are handled like the other "lease expiration" closings I've heard of, there's no clearance sale. Product is shipped out, the computers are packed up and sent off, and everything else is abandoned, including all fixtures and supplies. (At least the ones other stores don't scavenge.) SMs had better be prepared to work 12+ hours a day to get it all done.

I haven't heard of any closings in my district yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Well this round of closings, according to the stuff we've gotten, says that there are two time tables for the liquidations, one set of stores is 4 weeks the other is 8 weeks
