DESPITE STRONG EARNINGS REPORTS, THE SALINAS BED, BATH, AND BEYOND STORE IS SLATED TO CLOSE SOON. THE STORE MANAGER, FOR THE SHOP LOCATED AT 1690 NORTH MAIN STREET, SAYS THE LEASE IS UP, AND THE PARENT COMPANY HAS DECIDED NOT TO RENEW IT, SO THE SALINAS STORE SHOULD BE CLOSED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. THE EMPLOYEES OF THAT STORE HAVE BEEN OFFERED JOBS AT THE GILROY OR MARINA STORES.
