These commercials are so upbeat. I want one of these ads that’s brutally honest. “We’re going out of business. We’d thank our loyal customers if we had any. But now we gotta sell everything, quick, dirty and cheap. This TV here is probably already gone by the time this aired. So try your luck, I guess.”
I know right, I never understood why. Imagine if in those puppy adoption commercials they were like: “These puppies need a home! Save 50% on a Labrador Retriever!” in an excited tone of voice.
I actually realized why. In another ad, this was mentioned, but it is because it is good for the customer to be getting good deals, just not good for the company.
This is so funny, all of these ads are basically: "We will 🌟DIE🌟 in 5 days! That's right now you can save money on every product because we will 🌟DIE🌟 in 5 days! Better act quick because we are 🌟DEAD🌟 in 5 days!
Because it's good for the customer to be getting good deals, even though it is bad for the company. Another liquidation sale ad actually directly pointed that out.

@VPA_OSC and where'd you get the info only 2 of this entire list were closing? you need to research before posting comments. hhgregg went out of business and closed all their physical stores. sports authority, mervyns, ames too
Circuit City was the end of an era. I really liked shopping there. Sales people knew the products and always gave me great advice about which product was the right fit. The only place I shopped at for electronics and appliances, other than Sears, for years. Now, you mostly take chances on Amazon without even seeing the products. A different world.....
Is EVERYONE gonna go out of business? Toys "R" Us, hhgregg, Kmart, Blockbuster, Who's next, Best Buy? Is every single store going to disappear until there are no more stores or supermarkets left in the entire world? Jeebus.. Well, I do miss Kmart and Toys "R" Us, I mostly miss Kmart. Me and my family would always go there. But when I heard the news, I was sad. Kmart, Please come back. In memory of: Kmart (1899-2019) We will always love you.
Bro I cannot believe that shoppers and employees think that Toys R Us closing is “fantasic”. These commercials are too happy. It’s like they are willing to just give up and close. Unbelievable.
They probably will by the end of the year or maybe into the beginning of 2021. Steinmart and Pier 1 Imports are going out of business right now. Steinmart just got started, while Pier 1 is approaching its last weeks.
There's only 2 Kmarts left and they're not big enough to run an ad. One is in Miami and they downsized it to the size of a dollar store. There's a little bit of clothes and snack food. On one hand the lady who works there has the easiest retail job in the world...on the other hand it has the worst job security in the world. It's not a matter of if the other shoe will drop but when.

A lot of these commercials were bizarre to watch, especially the ones for Circuit City and Toys R Us. In a very short amount of time, those companies went from having very high-budget, very welcoming and professional commercials to "WE'RE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! EVERYTHING MUST GO!"

I feel sadder for Ames than I ever did for Toys R Us Don't get me wrong, I missed Toys R Us and I remember going to one in Brooklyn *where I live,* but I feel sadder for Ames because it feels like a Dollar Tree but in the early days.

Kmart still exists lol, there’s one in Westwood, New Jersey. There’s also many Kmart in Australia.
The retail apocalypse is real and we must spread awareness.
Please, people, don't be lazy, go to the store rather than just buying stuff online.
