According to the press release about the acquisition on Sept. 5, 2013:

OSH's stores will be allowed to retain its brand name, management team and employees and will operate as a standalone business.

The OSH calendars have survived ownership by W.R. Grace, Wickes, the employees, Sears and etc etc so we can only hope they will survive this latest change.
