Default Re: Store Hours Sweetbay

I heard a rumor this after noon regarding Sweetbay being unhappy with the acceptance and level of business in TV. So much so they were contemplating closure.
Anybody hear that?
I cannot believe a company like that could miss the mark on their expectations. Far too much study and planning went into the decision to come here in the first place.
I can imagine the new Walmart, Publix commitment to upgrading their stores and putting in one of the new Greenwise stores, and the coming soon Sam's Club and Fresh Market are certainly major competitive issues for them. But I would also expect they had some insight to what the future held for them in TV during their evaluation process.
I dismiss it as rumor, but months ago, on a slightly different scale I also thought the rumors
about Dominic's restaraunt closure were just that.
Just curious.
