The kind of thing which makes you say “how could they possibly have thought this was a good idea?”

    Rugs a million having a closing down sale for over 20 years.

    It’s been 20 years. You clearly aren’t closing.

      There’s a furniture store near me that’s always going out of business and having closing sales (at least for the last few decades). But the name on the store always seems to change every year. I’m wondering if it’s just the same owners that shut the business down and rotate out names every now and then.

      I guess that’s one way to get out of fulfilling warranties?

        There’s a lot of those. There was one near me that did the same thing (maybe still does, I have looked in a while).

      There is a carpet shop having “final sales” or “closing sales” in the next town since I started reading newspapers 50 years ago. The carpet shop survived the newspaper. And it is still having “final sales”.
