Here's another mom and pop store that just couldn't compete w/the big guys. I'll be they wish they were one of those that are "too big to fail"...
Hate to see them dropping like flies. It looks like this place was named after the father.

Sam's Club closed its warehouse at 27853 Chardon Road in Willoughby Hills today, citing poor sales and competition.
The store, open since 1991, employed 130 full- and part-time workers who will receive wages and benefits through July 5. Sam's Club will try to find them positions at other Sam's Club or Wal-Mart stores, spokeswoman Kristy Reed said.
Sam's Club referred members to stores in Mentor, Oakwood Village or Brooklyn, but also is offering membership refunds through May 17.
Willoughby Hills Mayor Robert Weger said the store, one of the city's 10 largest employers, faced competition from nearby Costco Wholesale Corp. and BJ's Wholesale Club.
