 Where would I find a listing for the current closings?  All I can find

Sorry, I have no idea. I just learned about College

Re: Heads up: Ritz Camera closures - good deals! - Wa.Post article

2012-07-17 Thread Igor Roshchin

Upon a quick google search, I do not seem to see the list of
the stores to be closed. However, this Washington Post article
mentions 128 of them (which is about a half):
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/ritz-camera-files-for-bankruptcy-protection-again/2012/06/22/gJQAg8G4vV_story.html

Ten locations in Maryland will shutter, while four will go dark in
Virginia.

And in September, Ritz Camera plans to go up for auction

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
