I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT THEIR CLOSING. WE HAVE ORDERED FROM THEM FOR ALL THE YEARS THEY WERE IN BUSINESS. WE HEARD THEY TRIED TO RENT A SPACE IN THE SAME BUSINESS DISTRICT, BUT THE OWNERS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO COME TO TERMS, TOO BAD, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A STABLE TENANT. I JUST HOPE THEY FIND A LOCATION TO RELOCATE. THE BEST TO THEM.
