When I lived in Illinois, there was a big furniture store downtown, had been “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!!! WE LOST OUR LEASE!!!” for as long as anybody could remember. IIRC they have actually passed a law now in IL that when you advertise a ‘GOOB” sale, you actually have to be in the process of going out of business.

There’s a store not far from here that’s been having a ‘Going Out Of Business’ sale since I first moved to Ostrava.
In 2011.
