I just received this message by email:

After 35 years of business, The Old Country Store has unexpectedly needed to close its doors.

No reason was given. I'm surprised as this store was always busy when I went there. Not a big as some of the other Lancaster county stores though.

I just got an email about this. I wonder what happened.

such a surprising email - I'm hoping it's not due to family illness...but just can't imagine why they felt the need to shut down so quickly

Bankruptcy is an awful thing.

I was just there on Saturday. It was really busy. I'm sad and surprised.

Sad, but its happening all over due to the economy

I am not sure that this was due to economy, but maybe poor fiscal management. Either way, its sad. Especially since they opened the beautiful quilt museum upstairs.

I received the same email, except it said after 4 yrs..I knew they had been there longer..no reason, been trying to find out also..Anyone know anything more?

I agree with the poor fiscal management. The owner siphoned the money out of his successful stores to finance an off-Broadway show. Dumb thing to do.
