I thought they didn't have many products in the store. Could not find anything.

Nothing unsettles customers like fluctuating prices. They think they'll get a better deal if they wait, then the prices don't cooperation, so they go elsewhere. It's essentially the same strategy tried by Chuck Conaway at the first rendition of Kmart about 2001. Bankruptcy ensued in 4-5 months.
