I never viewed Hancocks in competition with small fabric shops, because I found the heavier weight material I need there. It was not available at smaller venues. Hancocks provided a wide variety of fabrics (even though I know some may have concentrated a little heavy on furniture/home décor). My local Hancocks was 95 percent fabric/sewing notions, very little devoted to home décor. So it will be missed, in my opinion.
