The owner is 72 and his running buddy, who was a strong force behind the store died last year.
The owner got himself a new girlfriend and wants to travel.
A big name car dealer offered him a price he couldn't refuse for the land.
Almost all employees are between 65-85 and just tired.
I didn't get that much of the story, but they did tell me the owner wanted out. The two I talked to showed they pretty down about it. Though they said a few people showed interest in buying the inventory to open up a new surplus store. I hope someone does, otherwise we would be reduced to the small one here in BA.
