Something Major Is Happening Across America—When You Find Out What You’ll Have a Deep Desire To Prepare!

By Lisa Haven

“Empty” that is the word to describe the countless malls, shopping centers, office buildings, and stores across America that are shutting their doors due to the fact that the economy is literally diving, and all this happens as our government continues to lie to the populace stating that our economy is headed in the right direction. Meanwhile the debt clock strikes past midnight and multiple economists are sounding the alarm to the masses. 

To be frank, either something strange is happening across America or we are already living in the beginning of the next Great Depression.

The video below reveals what the government doesn’t want you to know about these closing centers and how bad things really are. Please don’t miss this critical report.

According to Off The Grid News Here are 16 companies that have closed stores or will before early 2015:

1. Office supply company Staples has announced plans to close 225 stores by 2015, which is about 15 percent of its chain. Staples already closed 40 stores last year. Industry analysts expect Staples’ main competitor, Office Depot, which bought OfficeMax last year, to announce its own round of store closings soon.

2. Radio Shack has announced plans to close 20 percent of its stores this year, which is as many as 1,100 stores. The company, which operates around 4,000 stores, reported that its sales fell by 19 percent last year.

3. Albertsons closed 26 stores in January and February according to Supermarket News. Analysts expect many more Albertsons could soon be shuttered because Albertsons owner hedge fund Cerberus Capital Management just bought Safeway Inc. Some Safeway stores could soon shut down as well.

4. Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch is planning to close 220 stores by the end of 2015. The company is also planning to shut down an entire chain it owns, Gilly Hicks, which has 20 stores, 24/7 Wall Street reported.

5. Barnes & Nobles is planning to shut down one third of its stores in the next year: about 218 stores. The chain has already closed its iconic flagship store in New York City.

6. J.C. Penney is closing about 33 stores and laying off about 2,000 employees.

7. The Record newspaper in New Jersey reported that Toys R Us has plans to close 100 stores.

8. The Sweetbay Supermarket chain will close all 17 of the stores it operates in the Tampa Bay area, The Herald Tribune newspaper reported. Many of the stores might open as Winn-Dixie Stores. Sweetbay closed 33 stores in Florida last year.

9. The entire Loehmann’s chain of discount clothing stores in the New York City area shut down. Loehmann’s once operated 39 stores, The New York Times reported, and was considered an institution by generations of New Yorkers.

10. Industry analyst John Kernan told CNN that he expects Sears Holdings, which owns both Sears and Kmart, to close another 500 stores this year. Sears has already shut down its flagship store in Chicago.

11. Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy, USA Today reported, and could close many of its 2,100 stores.

12. Sbarro which operates pizza and Italian restaurants in malls, is planning to close 155 locations in the United States and Canada. That means nearly 20 percent of Sbarro’s will close. The chain operates around 800 outlets.

13. Ruby Tuesday announced plans to close 30 restaurants in January after its sales fell by 7.8 percent. The chain currently operates around 775 steakhouses across the US.

14. An unknown number of Red Lobster stores will be sold. The chain is in such bad shape that the parent company, Darden Restaurants Inc., had to issue a press release stating that the chain would not close. Instead Darden is planning to spin Red Lobster off into another company and sell some of its stores.

15. Ralph’s, a subsidiary of Kroger, has announced plans to close 15 supermarkets in Southern California within 60 days.
