Another New Hampshire LQS Closing!!!
So sad...after many years in business, The Bunkhouse Quilt Shop in Lyndborough, NH is closing it's doors at the end of April.
We have lost too many shops in the local area over the past few years. :( I would love to say it is the overall economy, but I think it is more that online sales and chain stores may be forcing LQS out of business. Wish it wasn't so... |
I think the big hick in the price of cotton a couple of years ago had something to do with also. It is very sad!
|
Well I sure miss spelled that.....hike LOL
|
So sorry to hear this! I would be heartbroken if my LQS closed. The proprietor is none too young, and I often wonder if she has anyone lined up to purchase the store from her when the time comes.

It is so much less expensive to run an online store than a brick & mortar store. I miss the LQS that I had access to. Another opened but the bus doesn't even get close to it's location.

In this case, the owner is retiring by choice after 13 years of running the shop. This is the third time she's retired from a job, so it's not like she had to close the doors for lack of business. She's earned some time for fun things and she's starting with a trip to France and Spain!!
