InkStop Closes All 163 Stores, Workers Stunned


(WXYZ) - No paycheck, no health insurance and no job! That's exactly what all InkStop employees are suddenly dealing with. The company has closed all InkStop stores nationwide, which includes 23 stores in Michigan.

InkStop managers called their employees last night at 10 p.m. to notify them that the company was "temporarily closing" while they restructure the company.

All employees have been laid off. To make matters worse, workers did not get their paychecks Friday. On top of that, they also found out that InkStop didn't pay their health insurance premiums for the month of September. Employees just learned that their coverage actually ended August 31.

The Cleveland-based company has 163 stores nationwide.

Action News obtained a memo from InkStop. You can read the entire memo below:

  3. Now I'm really confused. VP Biden said that the stimulus is working GREAT! And the Fed says we are out of the recession and things are looking UP. And the stock Market says everything is FANTASTIC!!! Could it be that they are ALL liars??? Hummmmm

  4. Sounds like these stores had a bad business model. If you hear reviews from former employees, they tell you that nobody will come into the store all day. Someone said to bring a book to read or play video games while working becuase its dead. They didnt even stock INK! I think this store was another investor scam.

  5. The employees should take a forced lien on the stores and all store property. Could be later sold to pay their due payroll.
    How can they take a lien on the properties?

  7. If there is a future history, what is happening right now will be talked about for decades.

    Current US Citizens will replace 30s Germans in the gullibility dept.

    Many will ponder how a whole population could have been so naive.
