Most of the article is behind a paywall, but looks like most of the brick and mortar AoS will close down.
Though I thought their products were ridiculously priced, their products were a high quality. I’ve gone into their stores on several occasions, but I do hate to see them go.
I think it's another example of retail being unable to complete with Internet shopping. They could not or did not choose to sell any less expensive gear. Trying to position shaving as a luxury activity has very narrow appeal.
I wonder if this has something to do with Target stores starting to carry AOS stuff.
