Discount retailers come and go. Mays, Alexanders, Robbins… The list goes on and on. The shuttering of the AJ Wright brand by its parent company TJX Corp. has got me feeling a kind of ways tho’.
AJ Wright is where I came up on so many great Nike deals I can’t even begin to name them. Whenever I needed some retail therapy like an Air Jordan tee shirt for $5 I would just go there and the deals would appear in front of me like magic.
The all too familiar refrain of the economic recession is still in effect. More jobs lost, but at least Massachusetts is moving quickly to train some of the people hit hardest by the closings. I hope the training won’t be for similarly low paying jobs.
This weekend will mark the end of my comeups at AJ Wright. I’ll walk around the store and leave a rose at the door.
