By July 11th, the following centers will be closing in Kentucky:

*Elizabethtown, KY
*Louisville/Hurstbourne, KY
*Springhurst, KY

They are also planning closings in other areas of the country, including:

I live in Colorado and from what I have been told all the centers in the state will be closed by the end of August I signed up for something called LA to go where supposedly someone from corporate will call me 3 times a week and I can pay for product and they will ship it to me free of charge.. I am beginning to wonder about that after reading all the posts. This is a real bummer as it was really working for me. - susan
