Christmas sales were very weak, and reorganization didn't help.

My sympathy goes out to those who have lost their jobs.

2. I'm sorry for those who lost their jobs, but I've never heard of Goody's.

3. Sam Goody? They who bought Suncoast and Musicland?

(I know they had been in trouble for some time; closing a bunch of stores and all because internet shops make ordering easier, and cheaper)

Can't even get DIP financing, you won't emerge from Ch 11.

6. In one of the neighboring towns

Goody's was right next door to Steve & Barry's. Both are gone, and I'm sure the employees at the few other stores in that shopping center are getting worried.
