I went there on Monday--even sadder is that their fabric selection has already been picked over and they don't have that much. And the fabric was only 20% off--the online ad said higher percentage off.
It's sad, though to see a LQS close especially when it may be the only one close to you. I went to 3 LQS here in AZ (Peoria, Surprise and Goodyear) and prices were definitely higher than I have seen in SoCal.
I realize they have to raise prices because the cost of fabric has gone up. But not sure they need to be this high. I worked in a LQS for 6 years--they doubled the cost and added 29 cents for shipping/yard (which makes it a 100% markup profit. So when the fabric cost $5/yd from the manufacturer, it would be $10.29/yd, and other LQS's elsewhere were charging $11.50-12.99/yd. It just seems to me if they reduced their profit margin quilters would buy more yardage (say 1/2 and whole yards rather than 1/4 yd when they weren't sure what they might use it for). Instead more shops are closing. 50-80% profit is still a profit, right!?! And quilters would return if they could get more for the money!!
