It’s all done for a once mighty Connecticut retailer. All of the Nutmeg State Bob’s Stores are set to close their doors after a company announcement.

According to an NBC CT report:

Several companies in the Bob’s Stores and Mountain Sports portfolio will now move forward together in Chapter 11 bankruptcy court.Today’s court ruling consolidates the bankruptcy process for Bob’s and affiliated stores under the company umbrella.

Now NBC CT says action is being taken and all of the Connecticut Bob’s Stores will close, that list includes:

During the show we each listed off what we remember buying at Bob’s and this is what each of us came up with:

Ethan: Hawaiian shirts

Lou: Ill-fitting pants

Dave: Jordan 2’s

That is quite the visual right there, that is how you dressed in 2000 if you could not decide on a scene. I think I’ve seen this exact outfit the last time I attended the Goshen Stampede. This is also a good-look for anyone who dresses like a slob hoping it will be taken as ironic which works great for Post Malone but if you work at the Post Office in Bethel, people might not get the joke.
