If you have not seen it Sam Goody, Sun Coast and Radio Shack are closing a number of their stores across the country.
I went into a mall I usually go to and Sam Goody was closing a store there but the Sun Coast was was staying open.
The company filed chapter 11 so they could close some of their stores.
Radio Shack is closing 700 out of 7000 stores.
I guess if you want some deals get to the ones closing for some deals.

All over here in Canada, the Radio Shacks have been bought and turned into The Source, which is a smaller outlet of Best Buy :/ Best Buy in the past couple years have also been making their appearance here...
Hmmm I wonder who's taking over all these stores^^ So if Best Buy ever teamed up with Starbucks... that's a scary thought!

We have a Radio Shack in town but it is the only one so I hope they don't close it or we would have to go all the way to Spokane to buy what we could get here.
There's also a Sam Goody in the mall that we go to in Spokane(Northtown Mall).
Actually I think there are two of them,a smaller one on the main floor and larger one on the second floor.

My Sam Goody is closing down too, but it's only a little sad, because their prices were usually absurd compared to other stores, and we could get everything elsewhere. But I'm excited about the sales, I already bought a soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura, and if there's anything left when things get marked down further, I might go back and help them clean out a little more! 
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I'm still hearing that Sun Coast is closing all of their stores and Sam Goody will be the only store left for Musicland Inc.
Musicland Inc owns Sam Goody, Sun Coast and what use to be Media Play.

I believe the entire Sucoast chain is closing, but selected Sam Goody stores are being closed.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Darn.
I really loved paying $10 over retail value for my anime.
Guess I'll have to get it cheaper at Best Buy now. ._.

Suncoast is lame anyway. Everything's too expensive there, plus the nearest one is like 40 miles away from me. And we don't really even have Sam Goody in this part of Oklahoma.
Hastings is my entertainment source. They have everything. And it's reasonably priced.

Hastings as a lot of good stuff.I just got started going to Borders because of their
ainme section but Barnes & Nobles has a better manga selection.
As far as the topic goes,I've been to Sam Goody a couple times to look for videos when we first got our VCR.I bought a copy of The Jackie Robinson Story there.
Classic baseball movie that's a must see.

There is a Suncoast in the Mall of Louisiana in my town...and quite a few Radio Shacks here too...but it's not really worth the drive for me from Baton Rouge to Siegen Lane (Anyone from Baton Rouge knows how hard the drive can be on a Saturday)--if they had a sale going on...that's another story...

Heck of a parting gift.

A whole lot of store chains seem to be closing lately. Every time I go into the mall, yet another one of my favorite stores is closing. I barely have any reason to even go into the mall anymore.

No! Suncoast can't close! I know they were overpriced, but if you have the Replay card, you'll even out to normal prices after figuring in the rebates. They also have (in my area, anyway) a much better selection of anime than Best Buy. Now I am sad.

Where I live here in the Washington D.C. area there have been so many chain stores close around here you wonder what would happen to the mall or shopping center they were in. One mall closed except for Sears which owns the building that it is in but that could change farther down the road when the mall is turn into something else. I have heard it could be made into a hospital or outpatient medical center or education center.
I have seen alot of buildings that were department, home improvement even 7-11s stores turn into church buildings in my area.

Say bye bye to Suncoast!
Here is the linky to it if you want to read it there.

ICv2 News wrote:Trans World Bids for Musicland
Anime/Manga Reaction Mixed
February 22, 2006
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which operates nearly 800 retail stores in 46 states (primarily under the FYE brand), announced that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Musicland Holding Corp., which operates approximately 400 stores under the Sam Goody, Suncoast Motion Picture Company, and MediaPlay brands. Musicland recently filed for Chapter 11 (see "Suncoast Returning All Manga Inventory"), so Trans World's $104 million cash bid (and assumption of $17.1 million in Musicland debt) will be subject to a competitive bidding process and approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
In a statement announcing Trans World's bid for Musicland, Trans World's Chairman & CEO Robert J. Higgins noted: "We believe that the acquisition of Musicland's assets will allow us to leverage their store locations, strategically increase Trans Worlds national footprint, and will provide further growth opportunities." According to Home Media Retailing Trans World plans to convert 345 of the Suncoast and Sam Goody stores to its own brands and will close the remainder of the Musicland outlets.
Musicland vendors contacted by ICv2 had a decidedly mixed reaction to the news that Trans World had made a bid for the Musicland retail chain. Musicland's Suncoast stores have been real pioneers in bringing anime to American shopping malls, stocked anime more deeply than any other large scale specialty store chain and also carried a considerable selection of manga and anime/manga-related toys. While some of the vendors we talked with were hoping the deal would salvage some of the mall-based shelf space and customers that would typically be lost when a retail organization the size of Musicland disappears, others worried about the commitment of Trans World to anime and manga.

I would be surprised if they closed out Radio Shack since it is the only one in town and the next nearest would mean a 45 mile drive to Spokane,so it would be illogical to close it.

If you all were wondering which Sam Goody and Suncoast locations were closing, here's a list.
Even if Trans World's bid is successful, the Suncoast, Sam Goody and Media Play names will still remain as online retailers.

Well, it looks like our local (if you can call 60 miles away local) Suncoast isn't closing. The Sam Goody 30 miles away doesn't have CRAP for anime/manga - they got rid of all their manga (as did Suncoast) and they stock an absolute minimal amount of anime and anime merchandise.
Suncoast still has an ok selection of anime and anime merchandise, but I've had to start going to Waldenbooks and Borders for my manga.
Hopefully my check card will be here within the next week, though, so I won't have to drive an hour to find manga, I'll just buy it online.
