I live in the town in NJ where the original RAG SHOP started. My mother worked there when I was in High School. The man who bought the chain from Mr B. did not do a good job. He only had the co a couple of years before he had to close all of them. My girlfriend and I called it our "Home away from home" we shopped there every week. Sometimes daily!
Still miss it when I go down to where it was.
