Via City Room, Bwog learns that Duane Reade has rolled out a new logo at newly renovated stores, replacing the longtime interlocking blue and red DR with a black-and-white, non-interlocking version. City Room commenters pointed out that the logo seems to draw its “inspiration” from Radio Shack.
But the store, which has been in and out of legal trouble over the past few years, may also soon become another casualty of the recession. According to the Wall Street Journal, Duane Reade is among nine retailers and restaurants that Standard & Poor’s rates as “at significant risk of default, with junk-bond ratings of CCC, or ‘very weak.'” A Duane Reade spokesman denied that the store was in any trouble, but, of the six members on S&P’s list last year, three have since filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Bwog knows one way they could improve the bottom-line: don’t roll out Christmas decorations in September.

@casey Is it just me, or does that logo look a lot like Radio Shack’s?
@Definitely just you, sweetie. Don’t bother reading the (second sentence of the) article. Just keep looking at the pretty pictures!
@person 4chan is that way =>
@why will there be a food shortage?
@fear the rise of the hungry, hungry hippos.
@ugh bwog, we are adults. seriously.
DON’T DELETE COMMENTS.
:irritated:
@canada we takin over (according to that article, that is)
@In conclusion, move to Canada.
@canuck go canada go!
@why? Also, how does pointing out PROVEN facts make one a white supremacist? I have yet to meet a liberal intelligent enough to answer that simple question.
Take for example: Martinlutherking.org
@Red When there’s 50% unemployment and there’s not enough food to go around, and there are absolutely TREMENDOUS quantities of guns in the hands of mostly right-leaning citizens, what would you expect? These idiot, effeminate, emasculated ivory-tower Columbia liberals have never known a hardship in their life. Their denial of what’s coming is pathetic. They will simply be fodder, as a result. You’d be more than smart to heed the signs. Civil war is coming. The country is rapidly disintegrating while the Zionists loot it to the ground. Be prepared. Get armed.
@hey thanks for the wake up call its always good to see cutting edge grass roots dialectic — an alum
@wow things just got really messed up. also, i’m curious to see the posts that were deleted.
@so why is Duane Reade on the verge of default?
@amused Hit “Track” on comment 1 to see comments from the same ip. The results are not surprising.
Agree with 21, how did we get from Duane Reade to racism?
@oh nooo! I CANNOT lose the 24 hour Duane Reade!! It’s so convenient…(though ridiculous lines during the day)
@gee oh goodness Bwog, maybe you should disable comments for a few days or something. This is getting weird.
@what? How, exactly, is Obama antagonistic to our nation’s core values? I didn’t realize those values included discrimination, depriving people of health care, and depriving people of their due process–all things that Bush believes in. We elected a hugely unpopular president eight years ago, too–one who was so unpopular he didn’t even win the popular vote–and crime rates didn’t shoot up the way you’re alleging now.
@How did we get from duane reade to racism? The new logo is black and white in unity. Follow the sign, people. Follow the sign.
@wow these comments are scary…what happened to hope and change?
@... Is this even a Columbia student posting this race war bullshit?
@p.s. This is an article about Duane Reade.
Take your cries about reverse racism to a place where someone cares, like anncoulter.com
@hahahaha bwog is beginning to become stormfront.org
@Dang, this is hard-core. Liberals just whined about Gore and the popular vote every now and then.
@BSz Right, who’s the dumbass: the one aware of what is going to happen in the US, or the millions upon millions of blissful ignoramuses who are going to starve or be turned into casualties of war? Do you research: A LOT of people know what’s happening in this country. America isn’t dying. It’s dead. We’re just waiting for it to start rotting. That’s when shit gets ugly.
@victoryisnigh The multicultural experiment has failed. Viva the right-wing revolution!
@umm congratulations, you’re officially a dumbass
@beware These types of closures are going to be regular across the country as the economy depresses. Food will be scarce, as will jobs. Obama will be unable to save the economy with his trillion dollar a year plan. Violence will escalate, spurred by ethnic differences and illegal immigration. Liberals will be summarily reduced in numbers as the war creates clear divides in the populace. This has been predicted by numerous pundits. The left wing’s socialist utopia will quickly disintegrate.
@uh oh scarce food? civil war? thinning of the liberal herd? well if pundits predict it, i better start sharpening my stick and buying glasses so people fear my magical fire-starting abilities.
