Re: Store Closing
A lot of people don't realize how physical this business is. It's worn out my body as well. Interesting about Treharn closing and the like, Sherry gave the retail store thing a try for a few years as I'm sure you know, but her store is gone now, too. I have not spoke with her in a few years so I don't know what she is up to now. Retail is far different than manufacturing to be sure.
My building sold much-MUCH faster than I was expecting. My biggest concern is liquidating floor inventory - not so much the big stuff as that is leaving at a steady pace, but the accessories , art and lamps. At 30% off right now, I'm just 10% above cost - plus freight on smalls. That's what keeps me up at nights, I have to be bare to the walls by end of February.
