Jax Bargain Plywood closing after 35 years
Florida Business News
After 35 years, Jax Bargain Plywood is closing.
“We met with our accountant three weeks ago,” said Rachel Kern Baldwin, vice president. “Sales are still down. When you’re dumping money into it for the last years, at what point do you stop the bleeding?”
So they’re closing the stores on North Main Street and Edgewood Avenue.
They’ve already started discounting their inventory of building supplies: 40 percent off now, then it will be 60, then 80.
Baldwin said their going-out-of-business permit expires in January.

Gators, Jaguars sales down, but Tim Tebow comes to the rescue
Florida Business News
Terry Trinidad could use a little help, and the Jaguars and Gators sure haven’t been giving him any this year.
He’s the general manager of Sports Mania in Mandarin, where the Jags and Gators make 80 percent of his shirt and hat sales.
“Our business is based on wins and losses,” Trinidad said. “With wins comes volume.”
Neither team has been winning much this season, and sales for gear for both have been down about 20 percent.

Several corporate representatives, though, disputed the findings released Wednesday by three liberal-leaning think tanks, including the Tallahassee-based Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Policy.
Gary Sease, CSX spokesman, said his company had not heard from the groups nor seen their figures.
