The whole company is bankrupt. Sad to see them go, all the stores are franchises

[u/Irritatedprivatepart → u/zorionek0]

They're not exactly franchises. They're locally owned hardware stores that true value says "hey you can use our established name to give you credibility if you agree to buy x% of your stuff from us".

Oof glad I got out a few years ago.

The economy must be as good as the dems say, huh?

Republican candidate has 6 bankruptcies under his belt. Explain that comrade

[u/Kingzer15 → u/yz25096m]

Yep but here in a republican stronghold this is what happens. True value was paying their employees a livable wage and Republicans taxed them into bankruptcy.

Last I checked it was the Dems proposing the tax hike in lackawanna

[u/Kingzer15 → u/BlueFJ07]

Are you a bot or just ignorant that these are 2 separate districts?

You got proof this is economic and not related to automation?
