What happenned? *Why?

Are there any other establishments effectively taking their place?
"Home Expo" in google maps or sumpn yields many places called "home expo" in
the NY metro area -- couple in Paramus NJ, a bunch in LI, mebbe one or two
in the 5 boroughs.

A friend made out like a bandit in the sell-off, got a $5,000 granite
countertop for $300, etc.

I agree Home Expo was a great store especially if you were in the
middle of constructing a new house.
