Ivan was right. I remember me and my younger brother when we were teenagers going to Brookstone to try out their massage chairs but I don't remember us buying anything from there. I'm sure many others doing the same thing. Their airport stores probably survived because anything sold at an airport is a money making scam. Oftentimes airports are at isolated places and you have four hours to go before your flight, so what do you if you need something? You buy something no matter what the price was. Went to an airport in June and there were long lines to buy snacks that were definitely a lot more expensive than what you would get at an average store.

Anyways anyone think Spencer's gifts is next? That's another mall store I could see going out of business because they have a lot of useless things too.
