how exactly is a distributor kept in the dark?
even if they haven't been on reddit/rfd, like most industries I assume word spreads fast
guess it's not surprising they want to have another go even so deep in the red...I thought at least a different field but the owner's clearly delusional thinking he still has any trust left in the hardware business

Seeing as the creditors are also the vendors/distributors, i'm sure they will have some serious controls in place when dealing with NCIX. | If the suppliers in this industry are anything like the suppliers in the construction industry they'll whore themselves out to the reincarnate without skipping a beat and it will be business as usual.
Stupid as it sounds I see it happen all the time in my industry, these dumb asses keep getting burned and they keep extending credit. ABC 2015 is going out of business, you owe us tons of money but you need credit for your new company ABC 2018? Not a problem how much do you need? We want to be your go to supplier.

I'm sure suppliers would not have any issues taking a gamble like that.

^ dang, i didn't realize it wasn't up anymore.
side note, i don't understand why people expect someone to say "thanks for yrs of business" or "sorry we are filed for bankruptcy"
Company (eg// NCIX for sure went down to next to nothing, staff wise; accountant, and a few family members + some core staff. I doubt anyone even know how to access corp website anymore.

They should have at least sold the domain name, could have at least made some money back on that given the number of traffic they were getting.

kinda scummy to leave the website available to order things for months and months when they know very well they can't fulfill jack Quote:

As well, T&T is moving in next summer... not like they spend 1 year to renovate the zellers/target store for 2 years of business.

Go by Lansdowne and read the billboards at the outer edges of the parking lot. Ask the retailers in the mall, all the small stores are getting the boot as their leases come up. I've lived in Richmond my whole life and next to Lansdowne for the better part of 14 years.
Same with Richmond Centre, the entire Sears parkade and Sears building is being torn off the mall and turned into towers.
Richmond has always had a restriction on all towers, not necessarily even because of the airport (though that is a factor) but also the ground doesn't support anything more than ~15 floors (will appear as a 17 floor building due to China not liking 4th or 14th floors). Not sure why someone even brought that up as a potential factor against this happening.
