99 Cent Store Closing All Stores…Many In California…Thanks In Part To Raising The Minimum Wage To $20…

This will hurt the lower-income people the most. Many will lose jobs working there and others won’t be able to find the bargains they’ve been getting there.

Parent company went broke. Made nation wide news in fact. And the only business the parent company has in California is the 99 cent store.

Explain that? Why the parent company went broke and is taking it out on the subsidiary company? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is a national problem. The Walmart's are killing the economy.

Why? Because Walmart's products are not from the USA! Mostly China.

@DeWayfarer Yeah Walmart started gradually adding foreign-made items back in the early 90’s. I’d see clothing tags that had red, white, and blue and the company name would have America or USA in it. But read the finer print on the label and they were made in Pakistan or China. I remember when Sam Walton was still alive that they’d get some merchandise being crafted in Oklahoma and have racks of it near the cash registers to help promote it…hair bows and decorated barrettes etc. back when they were popular here was just one of those small companies that got the business.
