Mmhm. If you don't buy it from the store at their sale price, then in the end the bank will hand off all of the remaining goods to a liquidation company who will take it off the banks hands for a *fraction* of what you would've paid, so the shop owners would be much more likely to be in trouble in the end. Buying it from the store personally during their closeout gives them a better chance of coming out of it all clean, or even with a small take away.
I don't think its immoral at all. Sad that the owners store would be closing down, but unless you can provide them with another solution to their problems, buying at that time would be helping them out, because liquidators won't give them any kindness.
