Thanks Flat. The ugly truth is 30,000 TRU employees lost their jobs when the US chain closed down. However, most of those were minimum wage part-time jobs that had little or no benefits. So they weren't really "good jobs".

You also have to look at this in context. There are something like 330,000 registered Massage Therapists in the US. So it's not like this was a huge part of the economy. I do feel bad for them though. I drive by the old TRU store frequently. The sign is still on the building. Sad.
