Another in the series of articles that came out in 2007 about the closing of Shinders…
Interesting tidbits:
- Shinders was losing $100,000 per month when a court-appointed receiver turned control over to its banker, Wells Fargo
- The bank liquidated some of the company’s assets to repay a pair of loans to Weisberg originally valued at $1.7 million
- Clarification on the starting of the chain (according to them)–Shinders got its start in 1916 with three Shinder brothers – Harry, Daniel and Al
I loved Shinders back in the day. There was always something new in the gaming section and sometimes entire games for a song.
I bought a used, out of print game of the AH version of Titan at Shinders for $2. Hundreds of miniatures, most of which were $1. Great collectibles, too.
Wish it was still around.
