I have nothing to do with Hawk. But I can say the decision to close a business never comes easy, and often when the decision is made, that is also the effective date and time of closure. It is very possible the employees didn't know. That was why they never gave any indication. I had to help close a business several years ago when a family member passed away. Talk about no warning, and the people (me) handling the shut down had no clue. From my experience, I would suggest if you have legetimate open business with Hawk, create a letter and mail it to thier mailing address. Stick to the facts. Getting emotional will only cause more stress and might move your business to the bottom of the pile. It is quite possible the person handling the shut down may need all the details availible. If they were a reputable business before the desicion, they will very likley do the best they can to do the right thing after the decision.
