Future Shop

By Stew Kernan

It was a very tough start to the week for the local retail sector.

It was already known that Sudbury’s Target store was closing it’s doors for good today…then came work on the weekend that the Future Shop across the street had been closed.

Cambrian College Business professor Brian Vendramin wasn’t surprised by the closure of Future Shop…calling it a trend in the retail industry.

On the weekend it was announcement that 66 Future Shop stores, including the one here in Sudbury, have been closed permanently, with 65 others converted into Best Buys.
