    I got an email from Old country store that they had closed. I loved that store. Does anyone know why?

    They're going into bankruptcy and selling everything off. They blame changes in the publishing industry.

    I thought it was just the internet store!

    Edit: Just went to my trash folder and there it is! The store is closing! How sad! I loved that store!

    The economy is causing lots of small businesses to close. It's a shame that this one has had to close.

    Not the economy. Bad management. Hopefully, someone will come along and buy it and reopen it.

    Sorry, but I think this is just the beginning. A lot of smaller stores are beginning to close.

    I'm so disappointed. I live in Lancaster and that was my go-to store for really good fabric. Soooooo sad.

    I just heard from my friend about it she sent me an e-mail that she had received. Heck we were just up there about 3 wks ago and had went there and there was alot of shoppers in there but I didn't see any signs about them going out of business. But it is sad I really loved shopping in there and so did my friend. They had alot of nice sales and fabrics in there.
