[CH] Store closings?

Consumers,

I recently stopped by the local Kitchen & Company (formerly Reading's China
and More) store in Dublin, OH, and found a going-out-of-business sale two
weeks old already.  Is the whole chain closing, or is it just this one? 
Several of you have mentioned having one of these stores nearby.

Some of the merchandise was already picked out, including chile-related
material.  They had a few ordinary sauces left, but the hot sauce section
was far more empty than the other items in the gourmet area.  Not much
chile-patterned stuff in the textiles, either.

I did get some Lodge cast iron at 10% off - their Grill Great and an oval
casserole.  I might go back for the chile-shape muffin pan, but that would
be a pretty bulky item to have in this small kitchen.

Cameron, I took some of your orange hab sauce to the Casa Fiesta on Bethel
Road.  Blew their minds.

Rael, that last tale belongs in a league with DWC's racoon-bycycle caper.

Hey, who posted that excellent Night Before Christmas parody a year or two
ago?  I'd love to have a copy of that again.
