NOT SURE HOW TRUE THIS IS BUT FOR THOSE GIVING GIFT CARDS THIS YEAR PLEASE READ!!

Stores that are planning to close after
Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though
the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them
from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankrupcy
Planning). Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be

Yeah when we wemt to Circuit City the guy even said that the cards might not even be accepted. We didn't get anything. Still too rich for my blood.

There are so many empty businesses here in California that it's beginning to look like a ghost town. Isn't it ironic how Bush once ruined two of his dad's businesses when he took them over. Now as President, he's managed to ruin a flock of businesses.

Your best out would be to get a gift card from grocery store chains to give as a gift. Even Eckerd Drugs, my old part time job back home, closed down a few years ago.
