Item 8.01  Other Events.

         On June 8, 2006, REX Stores Corporation (the "Company"), through a
wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to invest $16 million in a
limited liability company that intends to construct and, subsequently, operate
an ethanol producing facility. The equity investment is expected to occur before
December 31, 2006, subject to the limited liability company obtaining additional
financing and certain other conditions.

         On June 2, 2006, the Company's contingent agreement to invest $7.5
million in a limited liability company organized to construct and, subsequently,
operate an ethanol producing facility was cancelled by mutual agreement. The
Company also cancelled the $7.5 million irrevocable letter of credit to secure
the Company's obligation to fund the equity investment. The Company has no
further commitment to fund this investment.
