MJP –
A home improvement chain has suddenly gone out of business, leading to steep markdowns on everything in the store, according to reliable sources.
A well-known furniture store held by a family for more than 80 years is getting ready to close its doors.
To clear out inventory, Conlin’s is hosting massive sales with huge discounts. After a final sale, the business on South Washington Street in Grand Forks will permanently close down.
A combination of factors, including soaring prices and an explosion in internet shopping, led to the decision to shut down the business.
An event manager helping with the store’s closure, Melanie Stone, noticed a marked drop in consumer traffic, which she attributes to a lack of hurry to make purchases.
Despite this shutdown, Conlin’s will keep running fourteen additional stores in different states.
The Grand Forks location is offering steep discounts on all merchandise at the moment, but there is no set end date.
According to reports from GrandForksHerald, the building itself is also for sale.
Stone characterized the business’s closure as a cause for celebration and a last opportunity for customers to make purchases, noting that the store has played a vital role in the community.

A large number of qualified workers at the facility will be moved to other branches of the company.
In Williston, North Dakota, Conlin’s was established in 1937 and has, for the past eight decades, been run by the same family.
California, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming are among the states where the retailer has operations.
This shuttering follows a larger pattern, as many American retailers have announced massive closures this year in the wake of bankruptcy filings.
Take Big Lots as an example; they’ve just announced their intention to close about 545 stores and confirmed their Chapter 11 petition.
A similar story unfolds at LL Flooring, which will rebrand under new ownership and quietly close 50 of its 400 stores.
Similar actions have been taken by other apparel businesses as well.
