Unhappy Kay-Bee toys.

Well I just heard that they are shutting down Kay Bee here in Billings.

I'm pretty bummed, I liked that store, if you wanted a toy they had it. always.

They're shutting down a couple here but keeping about three open. Bad move for Big Lots who owns company.

I though I would add that they are effected by stores like wal mart that sell toys at a slim margain to get people in a Christmas Time knowing you migh buy a big ticket electronic intem etc while there.

I thought we established quite awhile ago that anything at all to do with a store closing down Has to be Wal-Mart's fault. Or even on cutting back stores. I'm sorry to see Kay-Bee go, where I used to buy all my models and ho scale train accessories. They had a better selection than the local hobby shop. Which closed down about three years after Kay-Bee entered. Hmmm,,,, seeing a trend anyone?

I used to work at Kay-Bee for all of two weeks during the X-mas season. Sad to see em go, they are pullin out of Little Rock also. Do not know of another store anywhere around, and I am sure the store in the little strip mall I worked at will be closing doors also.
