What's really sad is that she's been in the same location for so long and the people whom she rented her space from refused to negotiate the rent. Hopefully the space will stay vacant for a long long time. |

What's really sad is that she's been in the same location for so long and the people whom she rented her space from refused to negotiate the rent. The same happened with DH's friend, who had his own liquor store (granted, they're more numerous than ndlwk stores!). He'd been there since it opened and all of a sudden the owner wanted an exorbitant amount of rent. He sold the store to the local grocery chain and now manages the liquor section. It turned out okay for him, though. He's much happier cuz he has less responsibility and can spend more time with his young kids. -- Joan See my pictures he http://ndjoan.shutterfly.com/pictures If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry!

C Man years ago there were at least 2 LNS's in Spring..back in the early 1990s. It was a cute little town, and we would enjoy going there, poking around, and have a nice lunch. Probably by now it is part of a major metropolis! Gill |

I am going to look into it...rents, spaces, etc. don't forget to investigate more unusual spaces - a bead store I used to love (since closed due to reasons other than lack of business) was in an industrial park. Easy highway access (important), lower rent since it was leftover space. Place always smelled like bleach since one of the neighbors was an industrial laundry service but it wasn't unbearable C |
