The Flickr Businessclosure Image Generatr

The other day as I was scrolling through the local news on my computer, I saw a list of business closures in my area. To my dismay, I saw that all Big Lots except for two would be closing. The two that remain open are quite a distance from me, needless to say, I was a little sad that the store so close to my home will see its forever closure on November 24, 2024.

I posted a picture of this building a little over a year ago, talking about my fear of it closing due to its usual barren parking lot, and what I thought at the time was a sun-faded sign—now knowing that the sign was new and not faded and was just part of that "minimalism" trend that has overtaken retail logos since 2009 or so. Ever since the closure of the final Kmart back in 2019, I have always kicked myself for not covering the last of its days in the Las Vegas (and Henderson) valley.

So, to not make that mistake again (along with the inspiration from Retail Retell, Random Retail, and some of the other retail journalists) I decided to do a detailed coverage of both the inside and outside of the store.

Even supposedly wealthy Luxembourg is not immune to begging.

within the market hall of cabanyal, a vibrant district in valencia, this photo captures a quieter moment between the bustle. The stalls, usually vibrant with activity, are at rest, with tarp covers hinting at the end of a market day. A vendor is seen in the background, surrounded by an array of fresh produce, possibly tidying up after the day’s trade. The overhead lights and the structure of the hall frame the scene, showcasing the infrastructure that supports daily commerce.

On this note, we would like to bid farewell to you today.

Corvid rules say that non-essential shops can open for socially distanced business on the 15th June. Pebble Beech chose to open up for one week with a sale of all their goods and shop fittings and then to close for good.

There must be thousands upon thousands of shops in the world coming to the same decision. So sad ☹️

This image was taken on a dark and dreary December afternoon outside the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation on Kildare Street. The Clerys workers protested here on a weekly basis in an attempt to get a hearing from Minister Richard Bruton.

At 6.00pm on Friday 12 June 2015, employees of Clerys department store in Dublin were told that the business was closing. They were given an hour to gather personal belongings and were then escorted to the exit by hired security personnel.

Clerys—dating back 162 years and owned since 2012 by Gordon Brothers Group, an American venture capital company—had been secretly sold in the dead of night. The business was split into retail and property sections prior to the deal going through. The retail section was sold for €1 and duly declared bankrupt, thus denying the employees and others of their rightful dues. The Clerys building was then sold separately.

Gordon Brothers Group walked away with a handsome profit from the property transaction and instantly washed their hands of all responsibility for their former employees. Those employees—some of whom had spent a lifetime in Clerys—lost all of their accumulated redundancy entitlements and were eventually paid minimum statutory redundancy by the Irish government.

The Clerys building was bought by Natrium Ltd. (a consortium consisting of D2 Private, controlled by property developer Deirdre Foley, with John Skelly and Ronan Daly) and Cheyne Capital, London. Both companies have steadfastly refused to meet the former Clerys employees or government representatives.

The former Clerys employees are now campaigning for a change in the law that will protect others who may find themselves in a similar situation.
