These stores are a closing. . . (Gift Cards take 2)

I penned / typed a post on 11/12 warning about giving gift cards this Christmas as a number of well known stores may not be around come the first of the year.

Today I received an email listing out a number of stores as reported by the Securities and Exchange Commission that will not be here next year. Take a look and don't purchase gift cards to these stores.
