@skutfarcus : I think she means BBB, but IDK how they are "woke". Words mean nothing anymore.

@PeoriaChronicle : thanks for the link.
I don't believe that was their problem. They've been going downhill for quite some time, whereas MyPillow stuff has only been the last few years. And, it wouldn't explain why they are closing stores in blue states, where the MyPillow discontinuation would be a positive.

They sell much, much, much more than pillows. Their quality of things has been declining for a number of years. Wonder what percent of their sales and profits was just from pillows.

@AverageSue :
Did not mean to put thumbs down . I hit it by total accident and tried to undo it but not sure it worked. I can still see it. I do apologize.

They were an important customer to my former employer, so no love lost there, but on their website I see BBB had already dumped them in favor of a generic alternative. Promoting yourself as a high quality retailer while selling low quality merchandise tends to catch up with you.

What about all the other retailers that quit selling my pillow? Will they be going out of business soon? 🤣

@billybob no thumbs down. All good.
@skutfarcus so NOT about woke/broke then! LoL
 
We have one about 10-15 min from me and I think I've been twice in 10 years. My mom went to one near her in SW Florida but haven't heard her mention it in last 5 years or so.

Tuesday Morning is kind of a unique store. You just never know what you might find there. Sad to see it go away.

@CCubs : Agreed. We'd load up on the educational children's toys and puzzles for Christmas gifts for the Peoria Children's Home. They had great prices on Melissa and Doug, even some unique Lego items at times.
