99 Cents Only to close all store locations | What We Know

Shoppers are scrambling to take advantage of deals after learning all 99 Cents Only stores are closing.

The discount store made the announcement Thursday saying they plan to close all of their store locations in California, Arizona, Nevada and Texas.

Customers in Arden-Arcade say they're saddened and heartbroken to learn the news because they use it for staple items like milk, eggs and fresh produce.

Also many many employees are quitting to go to fast food restaurants for the higher pay ($20hr). I was just at the local 99 Cents store a couple of days ago for my cleaning solutions and I asked the cashier, "where is everyone at?" and she said, " most employees quit for fast food jobs, now we are short-handed!" I said, "dang that sucks" and then the manager was standing there and she said, "well I have been an assistant manager here for almost 4 years and I only get $18.50 an hour". Our local hotdog shop announced he was closing last month after 12 years in business, as two of his 4 employees went across the street to the chicken place that's closed on Sundays, and one more was planning on leaving. The chicken place starting pay is now $22hr and they still have lines out of the parking lot, though he did not need to raise his wages because of only having the one location, it still got him. I am sorry this is just so sad for everyone all the way round...

I had a great childhood because this store existed! I got my school supplies, my snacks, my first lip smackers, toys etc from this store. Sad to see it go!

Turns out you can't run a high volume low margin business when your customers are also stealing 20 times a day. Was wondering when this unsustainable business model was going to end.

I went into one last week. The prices were not good. The selection was not good. The service was not good. I walked out without buying a single thing. Can't really say I'm surprised.

It's Recession . No income it's starvation.

[AKAAAK]

More homeless to if you're living paycheck to paycheck and shopping at dollar bad news.

Do not go to dollar tree. Go to dollar general which has more quality and quantity. For food go to Aldi's. I say again. Go to Aldi's.
