Oh no!

My favorite local yarn shop, Wolfe Fiber Arts, is closing because the owner is retiring. Someone just posted to my SNB group.

This is really sad. I like that shop so much better than any other in the area.

Now, I just need the capital to start my own knit cafe. I wonder if I could really do it???

What are they going to do with the business? Would it be feasible to convert it into your vision of a Knit Cafe? Could you run it for them or would they take back a mortgage on it?

The woman who owns it is retiring, and I imagine if she were to sell it or turn it over, there would be plenty of people in line that already work there. I'm assuming that's not the case since their liquidating, but I may be wrong.

That building itself probably wouldn't be the best for a cafe, because it's a one story house with no kitchen. But, I'm excited about the prospects because now that means there are no yarn shops within the downtown area--they're all in suburbs, so I could possibly make it work in my area!
