We will know in the future. I will expect it to be someplace in the Denver area.

In response to the moving sale and the bare shelves in the store -- this is similar to other business that have to move -- the fewer items left in the store at moving date the quicker and cheaper the relocation is. Then hope the store restocks to the level before the move.

Similarly, if you live in a state with an annual inventory tax, business have sales prior to the inventory date to reduce the value of the inventory and the resulting tax. California has had an inventory tax while Nevada does not; so, many major retailers have their warehousing activities in Nevada instead of California. Think J.C. Penny in Reno and not someplace in California.
