There was an article in The Province newspaper this morning on it as well.
This "should" enable them to come out and be stronger than ever if that article is correct.

^ So in other words, no change...
**or at least so I have been told by others. I do not propose this as in any way to be actual fact or fallacy. This is soley a rumour or opinion**

It is a fact that they filed for bankruptcy protection.
It is speculation that nothing will change....most likely nothing will.
If you read the protection filing you will see that the company that might buy A&B is going to keep the name...I would be suprised if people outside of the industry will even be aware of any transitions that happen.

what I have been told from a insider is they are going to scale the company down to 7-9 stores only.
Two in Alberta Edmonton South and Calgary N.E.
The rest in B.C.
This is what I was told by a higher up at A&B.

maybe the higher ups at a&b that you talked to wont have jobs when the new owners take over, no one will know until it happens. this finally happenening has been talked about to death for the last year when a&b closed the stores in alberta so this shouldnt be real news to anyone, hell the fisrt rumor i heard was that jimmy orr was looking at buying them and making them avu's

I think they closed one store in Calgary. It was an older building if I remember correctly.
