Big Chain Store in NJ Closes — Still Asks For You To Do the Impossible

Yep, months later and it's still there.

Several months ago, one location of a troubled chain of big box stores in New Jersey closed but for whatever reason they left something big behind when the workers departed for the final time.

Let's go back to the beginning of the year when Bed Bath & Beyond announced it was going through some serious financial problems.

In an attempt to turn things around, the chain announced that dozens of stores would be closing, one of which was on the Black Horse Pike in Mays Landing, Hamilton Township.

At the end of March, that store wrapped up its clearance sale and closed for good.

The end, right? Well, not really.

Just before the Mays Landing store closed, Bed Bath & Beyond actually remodeled it and those improvements were heralded with big banners on either side of their front doors.

Ironically, those banners were never taken down as their liquidation sale began...

...which gave the impression that either you were supposed to be excited that the store was closing or their "better shopping" experience wasn't very "better."

• Days after the store officially closed in March, that banner was still there.

• In the middle of April, you guessed it...

• And here we are at the beginning of May...

• And now it's almost July.

• And now in the middle of October, some news to report!

The old Bed Bath & Beyond sign has been covered -- but not the "come in & see" banners.

Yes, I realize this is the most trivial thing you'll read all day...
