Still a lot of stores...the place that amazes me is Hawaii and how many stores are there...good thing they have millions of Asian tourists.

p.s...wow...the article also states that in addition to the closures and offering jobs in stores that have openings...the company will additionally layoff an average of 2 to 3 employees in ALL stores, so they can "refocus" their staffing (what a load of double talk bullshit).

Good luck to those that are in closing stores!
