Court Judge Frem Nielsen had previously granted a Tidyman's post-trial motion and stripped away the jury's decision to award $2 million in punitive damages to the women. One year later, Tidyman's awarded Hemmings, Lamphiear, and their attorneys $6.3 million. Store closures Starting in 2003, the financially hurt retailer began shutting several stores. These closures began with two County Market stores in Billings and Miles City, Montana, in February 2003. Starting in June 2004, Tidyman's closed six stores in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. These stores included five Tidyman's stores (one in Spokane, three in Idaho (Moscow, Lewiston, Coeur d'Alene), and Missoula, Montana), and one County Market store in Helena, Montana. That September, as an attempt to stay in business, Tidyman's announced plans to build three stores in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area and remodel six or seven stores. The company also intended to begin aggressively paying off its debt. The six stores closed were initially planned to be the last stores Tidyman's would close. This changed when its Tidyman's store in Spokane Valley was shuttered on October 31, 2005. In January 2006, Tidyman's closed two more Country Market stores in Billings and Great Falls, Montana. Two more Tidyman's in Spokane and a County Market in Livingston, Montana were closed on June 5, 2006. On June 20, 2006, Tidyman's announced it would sell its remaining stores and cease operations. Tidyman's sold the Dissmore's IGA store in Pullman to McGregor's LLC and the County Market store in Sidney, Montana, to Buttes and Bluffs Markets.
