The stores will remain open through July 14 as the company sells its remaining items at greatly reduced prices. Some things were marked down as much as 70 percent, according to a news release.

The company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late last month, is $29.4 million in debt, according to the court filing. 

Bob's President Dave Barton apologized to the communities affected by the closures. 

We regret that our financial position necessitated the liquidation of Bob's Stores. Bob's has been a stalwart of our local communities for nearly 70 years, and we know our customers remember us as having been there for major moments in their lives. We remain grateful to our vendors, suppliers, customers and employees for all of their support over the years.
