That wouldn't be smart, because then they'd still have a physical presence in the district. The sooner they can lock the door and terminate the lease, the sooner they get the benefit of not being located there.

I'm suggesting taping the note to the inside of the door on your way out. I don't think that counts as presence. The locals aren't likely to know why it closed. Seems reasonable to me that they know.

The locals will know because Apple entirely leaving your district will make the local news and people will say why.

This "flip the bird" nonsense is a terrible idea. No one will even believe it. They believe subtly hinted things better.

"flip the bird nonsense"? I didn't include any suggestion like that at all.

We've moved, where to and sometimes why, in the door of the now vacant spot is very common.

I think it's just a bad way to do it, just have your legal team summarize the information and submit it as an Op-Ed to the local newspapers.

Anyways, I'm sure the reason for their closure will become pretty obvious if other business follow suit.
