yes Mary Jo’s in Gastonia, NC is definitely closed and has been for some time. Mary Jo passed away maybe a few years ago - what I heard, I think is that her son got the store and thst his wife ran it into the ground. They were getting rid of some really good fabric lines awhile back (not any happy Quilter’s about that)! Last time I was there back when MJ was still with us the store had changed quite a lot. Many, many quilters were so unhappy with what happened. People would come from miles and other countries as it was the best place to shop. But she did not carry Moda - think there is a story about that, not sure. We all were totally deviated when the store started slipping and then closed for good. I’m thinking she was in business for about 60 years.
