Another company going down.
2009-04-12
I was driving around yesterday and saw what it looks like a picket sign. It was actually a store closing sign that am getting used to see now days. This time, it was a sign from G.I. JOES. I dont usually shop there. As a matter of fact I have been to JOES only once before.
But the sign made me look at the stores web page. (http://www.joessports.com) I learned that they were started in 1952. They have been in business 56 years. That is very long time. It makes me think what happened. Is it another victim of this recession? Or did they left behind in the Internet commerce?
Whatever it is, Pacific Northwest lost another icon.
