| 61.1 | downtown move? | TALLIS::JBELL | Wot's..Uh the Deal? | Tue May 26 1987 16:43 | 9 |
| Recently I noticed that they have opened a new store downtown, halfway between
the North Station and Haymarket T stops in the same building as J.L.Hammet.
Perhaps it was sort of a move rather than a closing.
I don't expect them to take too much business away from Hilton's Tent City
(two blocks away) considering their high markup.

| I think he also has (or had) a store in Sudbury. If you're really
interested you might try calling there.

| 61.3 | Ripoff at Moran's | CIMNET::LEACHE | | Mon Oct 12 1987 16:09 | 10 |
| This is old news at this point, but one of the local papers had
an article in which the owners of Moran's claimed to have suffered
a major overnight theft of uninsured goods at the Acton store, with
said theft dealing a death-blow to the financial health of the
organization. I don't remember whether all of the Moran stores
were closed or not.
The story sounded a little odd to me, as if (perhaps) the stores
were already failing before the theft even occurred. If that were
the case, then one begins to speculate about the theft itself ...

| 61.4 | Sale too | VIDEO::NOTT | | Tue Oct 13 1987 14:47 | 11 |
| Maybe it's old news, but curiosity still exists.
Anyway, remember that they had an auction sale there several
months ago - only serves to verify that indeed they apparently
suffered from financial death blow of some kind.
(I assumed at the time that it might be related to death of an owner)

| 61.5 | From a long time ago... | TELCOM::MCVAY | Pete McVay, VRO Telecom | Fri Oct 16 1987 01:24 | 7 |
| As I remember the story from the Middlesex News, they were only
marginally profitable to begin with. They had a robbery at one
of their stores which cleaned out a major protion of their stock.
They were just beginning to recover from that when the floods hit
this spring. Most of their stock was stored in the basement of
their Acton/Maynard location, and the river ruined it. Apparently
both of these incidents finally forced them under.

| For those of you who come to Maynard from the west, there seems to be some
activity at the site. They new sign says SKI HAUS.
Is this the same as the outfit with a store in Wilmington?
