Store managers have reportedly been instructed to wrap things up ahead of schedule — including wiping clean computers before turning out the lights for good.
Stores were supposed to remain open through August, and some locations will, but most will go dark a month early as the company hurries to sell assets, satisfy debts and stop paying for ongoing operations.
The company had hoped to sell off many of its 460 stores, but the lot drew no bidders at auction.
Some cash was raised through the sale of intellectual property.
But the website is closed, gift cards aren't being accepted and stores will soon go dark.
