some of the construction I see around here in the past few years is
replacing older stores with newer ones, often in better locations. Publix
grocery store tore down and replaced two of their stores near me in the same
location, but that meant some loss of business. Walgreens drug store
renovated one store, but built a new one, then closed one older one in a
shopping center (I believe they own the new, stand alone ones).

could it be they need some kind of tax write off , or exspense charge.  Its
strange that it seems to span all types of business and areas.  Its like
they found something that is working for them right now and everybody is
using it. Dont know much about accounting so maybe I'm wrong. Cant help be
suspicious after all thats going on with the auditors and CEO problems.
