Just Detroit Area Clearance buffs ? I travel to Detroit on business quite often
- the company I work for does business with the automotive industry - so I have
a route which visits all the TRUs and Targets in the general western half of the
greater Detroit area. (We just got our first Target here in Upstate NY just
before Xmas last year, which is why they were on my Detroit must visit list.) I
tend to clear the shelves if there's anything good on offer. I have also found a
few really good deals at Meijer, which we also don't have here.
I wonder if any of the Detroit Area AFOLs notice when us out of towners come in
and clear your stores out ;)
Anyhow, "its a sad thing for all of us" is what I wanted to say.
