Cleanup needed

The paragraph beginning with "The L A Times article says at the time of closing, the chain had 16 locations. Lets try to get them all. So far we have..." is not "encyclopedic" and such comments belong more on the discussion page than the article itself. The list of stores belongs in the article, obviously, but comments like "let's try to get them all" and "so far we have..." do not. - Elmarco 02:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article isn't internally consistent (at least between the title and the text)--is it "Buffum's" or "Buffums"? A quick Google search looks like it actually may have been "Buffums'" at some point (referencing both brothers?), and then "Buffums" without an apostrophe at a later time, but I have no definitive info on that.
