Interesting articles about the process of bankruptcy. I disagree with her on leaving Hobby Lobby out. I prefer shopping at Hobby Lobby since the quality of fabric is much better but selection is not as great.

I don't pretend to understand bankruptcy procedures, so this article explained a few things to me.

I was in the store in Lakeland Florida mid February and the auditors were in, counting ever item of stock.

I did that for awhile. Being at the store at as early as 3:00a.m. or going in at midnight was awful. Did it at a couple major stores like Dillard's, Macy's, etc. Pain.

So I guess the auditors are working for the liquidators. From what I could understand, the real Hancocks is out of it now. It is all the liquidators?

If you are referring to the "real Hancock's" in Paducah, I don't believe they have ever been associated with the current Hancock's stores.

I was in my local Hancocks yesterday. I was sorely disappointed. They had flyers out with all kinds of coupons and discounts. When I got there, they would only take 20% of original price. I walked out with nothing after looking for 30 minutes. With their kind of prices, no wonder they are going out of business. Just my rant for the day.

I have to add that Hobby Lobby will never be on my shopping list. Please research the owners and their grand scheme and the way they treat their employees before you shop there. I haven't been that store is several years.

Hancock of Paducah is has always been a separate entity.
