10 companies on their last legs

1. Blockbuster Video – Netflix and Redbox have taken market share away from this one time king. Downloadable movies will only decrease traffic in its stores.

2. Rite Aid – Still trying to return to profitability in an industry that includes heavyweights Walmart, Walgreens and CVS.

3. Borders Group - Online retailer Amazon and Barnes & Noble own the book sales industry.

4. Heely’s – Their shoes appear to be a fad item whose bubble is bursting.

5. Crocs – See Heely’s

6. Ace Hardware – Home Depot & Lowe’s have significant pricing power over Ace.

7. Build-A-Bear – Seems like the ultimate fad item.

8. Yahoo – It’s never good when an industry that you used to dominate is now known by your biggest competitor’s name.

9. Toys R Us – Business model eerily similar to KB Toys.

10. Gannett Co. - It’s not an advantage to be largest publisher in the newspaper industry when subscriptions and revenue are dropping.
