Gillette Files Bankruptcy!!!

Post by BPman »

Today's Wall Street Journal reports that Gillette, a co. owned wholly by P&G Inc., is filing for reorganization due to plummeting sales in the past three years caused by more consumers buying from discount companies, e.g., Dollar Shave Club, Harry's Razors, etc., as well as more men wearing beards. P&G stock is sure to plummet as a result.

I was nearly out the door to load up on Mach3 and Sensor cartridges. Thank goodness I clicked on the link before exiting the house. :mrgreen:
