    @Peter Thompson re. Suhttering??

    I think that 'shuttering' may be used to imply that this is a protective act to maintain the store for future re-opening. (Shutters being a protective mechanism obviously). Then again, you'd put shutters up anyway to protect the store to maintain value for asset/property sale or because it's a condition of your lease when you close down the store. Then again, some of the shops where I live shutter their buildings every night and then re-open as normal every morning. So, 'shuttering' is not meaningless, it's just of no help or use in this case.

    The use of weasel words, cotton-wool phrases and candy statements is widespread (see the quote from the Amazon spokesdroid). Only Cade can tell us if 'shuttering' was his choice of word or Amazon's choice.
