"Famous Gastonia Landmark Announces Retirement Sale

Mary Jo’s Cloth Store to sell through inventory by end of month

Gastonia, N.C. (August 16, 2019) – The iconic fabric mecca of the south, Mary Jo’s Cloth Store, has announced a Retirement Sale beginning this Sunday. The goal of the sale is to sell through the store’s remaining inventory, as their doors will close after the end of the sale".

It used to be a wonderful fabric store back in the 1980's and 90s when I lived in Charlotte. Bus tours from Atlanta and Washing DC would make the trip. With Mary Jo's death, it started to decline. In it's last years the quilting and dressmaking fabrics were a shadow of what they had once been and upholstery fabric was featured.
