My LQS is moving to another location about 7miles down the road. I am guessing it may be that the rent in that shopping center is less. Although I will have to drive 10 miles instead of just 3, it's not like they're closing or leaving the area. Also found out that one of our big fabric shops a bit farther away is moving into a much larger space a bit closer to the interstate. That will mean I will have a slightly shorter drive to get there. We also have a Hancock's and a Joann's about 10 and 12 miles from my home, as well as another LQS that I rarely go to. Very fortunate to live in a slightly more metro area (even though we call it the country as compared to the big metropolitan areas around) and have so many choices.
Sorry for you losses, ladies. I hope that another LQS will see the opportunity to work with wonderful quilters and will move into your area and provide what you need.
