Ritz Camera (big US camera retail chain) is finally dead: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-10/ritz-camera-liquidation-approved-after-second-bankruptcy.html
I will not miss them at all. Terrible stores, terrible selection, poorly-trained staff, etc. Hopefully local mom-&-pop camera shops will be able to return one day, when the economy improves, now that this behemoth is out of the way. If you're a deal hunter, people on Reddit.com are saying Ritz and Wolf stores are already liquidating everything (except their lab equipment). I don't recall ever seeing much Pentax stuff there, but you might find deals on accessories.
