I just received notice that a LQS between my house and Indianapolis is closing. Too be honest, I have stopped in there a few times but, really cannot remember ever making a purchase there. I think it was because they did not have a very large inventory. It was a store that was a bit off the path for me and after going there a couple of times, I didn't make a huge effort to get there again. That said, I am always sorry when a store goes out of business because it was probalby a favorite for someone. I am not sure the economy can be blamed for this store going out as much as competition from 3 other stores within a 15-20 minute drive from it.
