Even if the deal is signed to close ones business it still can exist and flourish across the road. For the “new business” might still be able to incorporate the talents and experience of those that previously walked there and maybe even some of the supplies. For example a real estate developer might incorporate the talents of the hardware store that they bought to build their dreams while another developer might just have hungry mouths to feed from the supermarket they were closing. Therefore, just because one entity closes another doesn’t mean another can’t be born from the exchange.
