FutureShop Canada Closure!

They`re gone ladies and gentlemen! Going the way of Target, apparently Red brand colours are not in anymore. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/future-shop-stores-closed-across-canada-some-to-rebrand-as-best-buy-1.3013534 All kidding aside, this is pretty sad to say the least. They used to be Canada`s largest electronics brand, crazy amounts of money. They were absolutely huge for a strictly Canadian company, then BestBuy bought them way back and they still did really. Well, not anymore. It`s a shame, I`m glad BestBuy is sticking around for the foreseeable future, but to see yet another large retailer heading out is discomforting on many levels. 1,500 jobs cut today guys, that`s in addition to Target`s 17,000. Really feel sorry for all those affected, crazy. Anyway, in case people didn`t realize, they did offer the occasional Lego sale, usually 20-25% or so on sets. Nothing huge that I recall, but certainly not nothing. Guess you`ll have to shop at BestBuy now.
