  15. Its true when I worked retail we would always say did you need help or hi looking for something in particular. We were told to do this, because it would prevent a shoplifter or made them think,well some of them anyways that its not a good idea to shop lift anything right now. Now instead of getting any kind of help from a worker you would get security on your tail. Linda

  17. At Roseville they are always rude. It has nothing to do with it closing. Just ask for a manager. Maybe that will work. Linda
  18. I'm not sure what the percentages are now but here in Mich there are at least 3 that I know of that are closing. Roseville,Warren and Livoina. LIVONIA -- Discount retailer Value City announced it is closing more than half of its stores in Michigan by March, leaving hundreds of workers unemployed. A spokeswoman for VCHI Acquisition of Columbus, Ohio, which acquired an 81 percent stake in the chain Jan. 23, confirmed the closings Sunday. Stores in Roseville, Wyoming, Warren, Livonia and Saginaw are among 30 nationwide scheduled to close. The Westland, Taylor, Flint and Lansing stores will remain open, VCHI spokeswoman Robin Hepler said. She didn't know how many employees would be affected by the Michigan store closures, but said Value City has 8,600 employees nationwide. Hepler said VCHI has decided to keep only those stores it feels can survive competition from other close-out retailers, like Marshalls and TJ Maxx. In September, Burlington Coat Factory announced it would purchase 24 of the chain's 113 stores ; later it committed to buying only 12 locations, Hepler said. None of those locations are in Michigan. Of the remaining stores, only 53 Value City locations are on the list of those that will stay open. The rest are in limbo, Hepler said. "Stores are moving from one list to the other each day," Hepler said. On the corner of Middle Belt and Seven Mile on Sunday, a man in a coat hoisted a sign on a stick promising enormous discounts inside Value City at the Livonia Mall. Inside, shoppers poured through racks of deals, like a pair of beige Liz Claiborne pants, originally priced at $78, for $19.99. All sales were final. In Livonia, employees either didn't know their store is closing or declined to talk about it. Gail Pryor, 56, of Westland asked a cashier if the store was going out of business. "All (the cashier) said was, 'We're under new management,' and then she held up her hands with her fingers crossed," Pryor said of the cashier. "You know they're closing it down." Farmington retail consultant Fred Marx, a former retailer and partner in the marketing firm Marx Layne & Co., said the store closure might have more to do with the crowded retail market than with Michigan's sour economy. "Value City is one of the weaker players in the segment that's already dominated with expansion by Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer and other players," Marx said. "Value City doesn't have the clout or the ability to have a strong enough footprint in this marketplace. "It's still a market of 5 million people in southeast Michigan, stronger than some other states." In Livonia, patrons said closing the Value City would likely spell the end of the Livonia Mall, which has slowly declined since the loss of anchor tenant Crowleys, which went out of business in the late 1990s. Mervyn's also closed its Livonia location, and the chain eventually left the Michigan market. The only remaining anchor after March will be Sears. "It's going -- there's hardly anything here anymore," said Barb Heckman, 61, of Redford Township. "Sears and Value City are the only things keeping it going. "Our shopping options in this area are very limited. Now we'll have to go to Farmington or Westland to do our shopping." Livonia Mayor Jack Kirksey is looking on the brighter side. The city wants to see the mall torn down and redeveloped. "I'm not concerned at all," Kirksey said. "This is very exciting."
