Retail Archaeology asks 'What Is Going On At Claire's?' A tale of the Retail Apocalypse

I promised "another update on Claire's, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse" for today, so watch What Is Going On At Claire's? | Retail Archaeology.

In this episode of Retail Archaeology we take a look at Claire's and discuss their recent bankruptcy.
The big news, which Company Man Mike mentioned briefly, is that a private equity firm bought Claire's and looks to have saved it, for now. I've been following the Retail Apocalypse for seven years, and I don't think I've ever seen a store closing sale canceled before, but that's happened to Claire's. Good news, but not so good I'll post Professor Farnsworth.

That's a wrap for today. Stay tuned to see if I complete my Emmy nominations coverage tomorrow with the nominees for drama series. Andor, Severance, and The Last of Us!
