Considering all those stats it sure was strange timing on the card shop in the mall to close up then eh, a few weeks before perhaps their biggest money maker season and before the town fills up with visitors for two big local events?

Imagine it had to do with their lease, but damn they could have left town with a lot more cash in the bank account!

My honey took me out for breakfast…went shopping afterwards and was much amused by the up to 250% markup in rose prices. One mixed rose bouquet at Thrifty’s utterly blew me away, moreso after I saw the $60 price tag!  :unamused:
