16 very successful years as a brick & mortar shop is quite the accomplishment! Owning and running a shop is hard work, long hours and dedication to a business. Not to mention that it is a RETAIL business so one has to have and demonstrate a strong understanding of business. I rarely stick to any "job" past 13 years. In general...Shop owners are ready to retire, take a step back, regroup , play with grands, etc. Whatever. Celebrate the success.. no need to think of every shop closing as a "failure". We all move on eventually. This shop in particular must have been quite the shop! Kudos
