I can think of one chain of lighting stores in my area that has gone through about 3 names... each time their "closing down sale, all stock MUST GO" tv ads run for literally
months, then not long afterwards they're back with a new business name. The ads for each reincarnation are virtually identical - same font, same style, same announcer - just a different trading name!
I don't know if it's a dodgy marketing gimmick or their business model is to periodically wind up the company in order to release outstanding debts.
