Well here in tn were I live last year they closed too, and when they had the fabric in discount because of them closing that section in Jasper (two towns down from my town) I saw every one complaining about it so I decided to take advantage and did car washers at my husband's garage all summer and saved the money and opened a small fabric store in my town (took over my husband front lobby of the garage) and now for the past two months my business is growing. may be you all can do the same thing.
