Transformco added it is taking the steps to focus on its "competitive strengths." But it faces "a difficult retail environment and other challenges."

I hate to see another iconic company to lose stores. I am hopeful that they can pull it together and build on what made them the best in their beginning and possibly fine new ways to attract the younger generations. Hopefully they will find the cheese that was stollen from them.
