I don't think I agree that slower growth due to closing stores necessarily leads investors to sell the stock. A typical metric in retail is same-store-sales. If you close a BB store that is in close proximity to another BB store, its possible (probable?) that the surviving store could see a jump in same-store-sales. Investors may see this as a good thing.
