FS Game: Arcade bar closing - Cincinnati - selling off games

We're going to see a lot more of these, as the economy continues to contract.

Lots of businesses closing, everywhere.

This.

We have a local mall by us that had been bucking the trend over the last decade or so of malls failing. I was in there before Christmas and many of the stores were empty (closed up) and that includes some of the food locations.

A friend of mine owns a shop in there and he said the inflation over the last couple of years has been murder. He said he could almost draw a direct line between the percentage of inflation increase over 23 & 24 and the amount of his sales decrease. He's very much a shop that is impacted by changes in discretionary spending (sneakerhead shop) and he said it was his slowest Christmas in 5-10 years. He said there's some hope for change as we go into a new administration, but it may be too little too late.
