In other words, when people are working and can't get there.
There was one in Bertesgarten (sp) that I used to visit perhaps once a year when my unit (Army) would sponsor a company trip there and one in another city but can't remember where. Where we were stationed near Mannheim, there was a nearby store that carried yard goods, thread, yarn and other crafty stuff in addition to other items. That's where I shopped primarily as I loved the thread selection there as it was much better than the Post Exchange's.
