Gottschalks: Deadline This Wednesday
Whoever wants to purchase Gottschalks has until this Wednesday to submit their proposals. If nobody steps forward by then, Gottschalks will go to a consortium of liquidators.
Supposedly there are three retail companies that are considering purchasing Gottschalks and keeping at least some of their branches open: Golden Gate Capital Corp. of San Francisco, GK Development Inc. (based in Illinois) and El Corte Inglés, a Spanish retail conglomerate.
Keep your fingers crossed.

Bwa ha ha ha ha!
You forgot to mention NEE Unlimited.
NEE stands for Nosferatu's Evil Enterprises, and my corporate H.Q. is a heavily fortified bunker buried deep within the Swiss Alps. NEE Unlimited is a true global concern with branches located in Sudan, Rwanda, Mexico, Central Asia and right here in good ol' Port Angeles! I am, of course the CEO of NEE Unlimited and yes, I did give myself a impressively huge bonus this year. Unlike those idiots at other companies, however, I haven't run the business into the ground!
Anyway ... I've put in a bid through a series of blinds and dummy companies for the Gottschalks chain and, using my powers of Evil Mind Control, NEE Unlimited will come out the winner.
I'm planning to change the name from that ridiculous "Gottschalks" to something that reflects the real me: Nosferatu's Evil Clothiers. At NEC you'll be able to buy outrageously priced clothing with loose and weak seams, broken zippers, missing sleeves and a variety of other defects all made overseas in one of my numerous sweatshops by underfed six year olds.
Toodles,
Doctor Nosferatu, pedantically evil
"outrageously priced clothing with loose and weak seams, broken zippers, missing sleeves and a variety of other defects all made overseas"
You don't need to import stuff like that, they make plenty of it right here in this country.

And... this is different from every other clothing store how? You need a niche, I grant you, but evil's already been done to death.
Most of our apparel manufacturing in "this country" has long since move elsewhere, but what remains are some of the higher end manufacturers. You know, higher wages, higher costs..higher prices.
I'd absolutely wager that there is not one stitch of clothing at Gottschalks that was made in the U.S.A. There is no way their "sale" and "middle quality" clothing with the low end fabrics, and the crummy stitching is local work.
You must know absolutely nothing about the clothing industry.
....Nosferatu, long winded. Keep it tighter, the joke would work better.
I modified an LED light that I bought last year. SPIRITS PROJECTS
And I still don't care what happens downtown, it has no effect on my life at all. :-)
earth to BBC
do you ever stick to the topic?
Buddy, seriously, you should get a good mental and physical evaluation...you've been losing it, and your posts are getting less lucid
BBC: If you don't care what happens downtown, and you really don't seem to care about Port Angeles at all, then why blight this site with your stupid comments? Go talk about something you DO care about.
