“.. My wife and I are closing our store this year”.
I am sorry that you had to do this. Prayers for you two and your employees. I know the stress you are under must be horrible. ((( Hugs)))
Thanks Mom. My wife is the front of the business, and she caters to many women's needs (from older teens to seniors). She's been straight up with them about why we're leaving the business (hoping to sell, but there's small chance of that). Trouble is, a good percentage of them voted for the same claptrap that is killing us, but they are the ones crying the loudest.
Go figure...
