rfmcdonaldThis is a photo I took this summer past of Yankee Stuff, a store that--as Torontoist's Jamie Bradburn puts it--stood out for "proudly displaying the red, white, and blue (and several small Canadian flags) on Bloor Street in Korea Town," promising ""Winners Quality at Ed's Prices... THAT'S WHY CRAZY PRICES!" ("Ed's" refers to "Honest Ed's," the nearby huge discount/bargain store).
After seeing a 50% recession sale on all items, Bradburn returned after Christmas to the store only to find that, "based on the wrapping paper covering the display window, the recession had claimed another victim.
The lesson? Be careful of naming your sale after an economic event, as said event may come back to bite you."
