The past few months and years have proved to be difficult for a lot of different businesses in and around New Jersey. Some local brands are struggling right now, and some national brands are having trouble keeping up as well. For example, we were shocked when we learned that Eddie Baur was getting ready to close stores across New Jersey and PA.

And then, Saks off 5th Avenue announced they were closing dozens of stores as well, leaving just one in Jersey. Again, it left us shocked to think that these businesses that have been around for upwards of 100 years in some cases, were all of a sudden closing.

Sometimes, though, a store may not close down locations in order to stay afloat, and a company will take the route of laying off employees. Sometimes these layoffs are at underperforming stores or stores that would otherwise shut down due to the number of staff on hand.
