Economic Casualty

It's curtains time for Modernage Furniture in Miami... Leath Furniture, with corporate offices in Atlanta, has 31 stores. The majority of them (24) are in five midwestern states of the US with 7 in the state of Florida that operate as Modernage Furniture, a division of Leath Furniture. 3 Modernage stores are in Miami.

Leath furniture is closing all the stores in Florida and Wisconsin, citing tough competition. The sad story here is there are about 200 employees working for Modernage in Florida who will lose their jobs. The "going out of business" announcement is posted on a huge banner truck for roadside advertisements.
