I just found an article on Mervyn's closing:
On Aug. 4, 2008, Hayward, CA-based Mervyns, a mid-tier department store chain with 176 stores in seven southwestern states, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On Aug. 13, Mervyn's said it would close 26 (nearly 15%) of its stores by late October or early November. Mervyns said an undisclosed professional services firm would assist it in liquidating the closing stores.
Stores being closed are as follows: Phoenix (3) and Scottsdale (1), AZ; Antioch, Canoga Park, Fairfield, Foothill Ranch, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Livermore, Napa, Palm Desert, and Thousand Oaks, CA; Boise, ID; Carson City, Reno, Las Vegas and Sparks, NV; Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, and San Antonio (3), TX.
