We have Wal Marts and JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby, all within around 20 mi or so. We lost all our Hancocks, which was my go to store. Hancocks sold fabric, not all this craft stuff. It was a Fabric Store, period. And I loved it. But as JoAnn's and Wal Marts starting dipping into their sales, I guess they did not have as much business here and closed all the stores.
I always think its sad when we lose another fabric store.
But I imagine our online shopping does not help our local stores much either.
