I would say if you are not busy(this time of year).....then you have problems!

Sadly, I was in Liquidation World last Friday, and will be closing by the end of February! I didn't go there too often, but I hate to see it go including the jobs.

They'll be closed within a year.

Love your optimism, hope it isn't contagious....

I am a realist. There are indeed challenges with that location however I wish them all the best. A good product & staff along with great marketing can do wonders for a business.

I never like to see any business close as it means that employees are displaced. This store never appealed to me but I do know people who got some wonderful deals from there.

I am hearing something is in line to move in already?
Not confirmed yet.

I hope so, my fingers are crossed.

Did a quick Google: "BigLots Liquidation World"
This is just one of several articles that appeared:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-inv...-of-a-liquidation-giant/article15833292/

So its not just Locally, its across the country that Liquidation World is shutting down.

RR Drummer · #**348** Posted **Dec 30, 2013, 3:30 PM**

Not sure about all the stores but everywhere I went in East Saint John over the last 2 weeks seems to have been busy. Hope all the retailers did well. I know I left a few dollars with some businesses

Whaler · #**349** Posted **Jan 27, 2014, 6:36 PM**

They must have shut down all the retail?
No one talking retail much??

Is there anything to discuss? It's seems all pretty stagnant at the moment to me...

Whaler · #**351** Posted **Jan 30, 2014, 2:16 PM**

Well.....I will get something started.
Been hearing different stories on a new Sobeys in the north end. The word was that Sobey's would build a new store along with a new NBLC. Latest I have heard is that is on hold now?
Anyone hear anything new on this?

What i do know is that the lease expires soon on the exsiting NBLCC store.
And they will be going somewhere.

I am wintering in Florida does anyone have recent pictures of the old Zellers property?

Not too much to see. It is gone!

swish · #**354** Posted **Feb 18, 2014, 4:30 AM**

So is the Bargain Warehouse closed now? I realize that is probably not its correct name but i did like the place.

Liquidation World?

When they announced the closures back in December they said Spring 2014.

It's gone, so is the Zellers in the north end

Whaler · #**357** Posted **May 20, 2014, 4:16 PM**

Latest I have heard about the North end old Zellers location is the Drug store will build. Not sure about the NBLC yet? Perhaps it would become part of the new drug store??

kwajo · #**358** Posted **May 20, 2014, 6:01 PM**

Drugs and Alcohol together? Match made in New Brunswick retail heaven!

Looks like Laura will be opening in McAllister Place this year. They are currently hiring for all positions. Pretty decent catch. Even if it's just for women.

Been hearing of some new retail coming to East Point. Getting bigger all the time!
