I'm not surprised. Their product selection didn't give people a clear reason to go there regularly. Their prepared food selection was weird, they had a weird combo of convenience store food and gourmet food, and it was so expensive.

WOW! I am shocked. I wonder why? I did think they were expanding VERY rapidly in the area that didn't seem commensurate with demand like what happened with Starbucks here when they closed a bunch of stores.

I was headed there today to get some of the weird flavored chips for my dad and discovered they shut all locations this morning.
I waved to my chips through the window, knowing I'll probably never get them again.

Bummer for me, and especially for the workers who lost their jobs in an instant.

It was very expensive.
