bankruptcy

In the bankruptcy filing, the retailer said it anticipates closing all of its stores by June 30 including its two East Texas locations in Tyler and Longview.

One of the most distinctive homes in Texas is on the market due to a bankruptcy.

Another retail company is being hit hard by closures from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reportedly, the bankruptcy filing will apply to Libbey's domestic operations that include: Toledo, Ohio and Shreveport, Louisiana.

This move will reportedly close the doors on all of the remaining 540 stores across the country, including the one located on Youree Drive in Shreveport.

Geoffrey the Giraffe's face will be seen for about another week in East Texas and then his Toys R Us home will be closed permanently.

What's that mean for East Texas DQ locations? The Tyler, Van, Canton, and Noonday locations are NOT on the list of closures. Whew!

Finding those hard to find toys this Christmas could become even more hard to find.

Making it in the world of retail these days is proving to be difficult.

I used to go to Hastings on S. Broadway in Tyler to buy all kinds of music, whether it was on vinyl, cassette or cd or to buy or rent movies this was an entertainment destination for so many Tylerites and East Texans. Sadly, that all ends tomorrow.

Look for a big 'Going Out Of Business' sign to be place on the Hastings building soon.

East Texas' movie, music and book retailing icon Hastings could be closing their doors.
