I received an email from Chicagoland Hobby informing their customers that, pursuant to their retirement announcement a year ago, they're now liquidating their inventory and will be closing their doors on September 30. Below is what the owner, Greg Bosak, said.
My own history with the store goes back to the 1960s, when, before Greg's father bought it, it was downtown on Randolph Street and was called Hobby Service & Supply. The store had a long run. Now we're down to two main O gauge shops in the Chicago area: Berwyn's and America's Best.
End of an Era
Retirement / Liquidation Sale |

“The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.”
– Vince Lombardi
I mentioned a year ago that I was looking to retire. The time has come and I would like to inform you that our building has been sold. The business is still for sale, if anyone is interested? It was a very hard and difficult decision to make. I also understand what a difficult time this will be on you, my customers.
We are having a Sale beginning on May 1st, in an effort to clear out our entire inventory. Everything will be 20% OFF!
I will be closing the doors on Sept. 30th.
For more details, please go to our website.
Sincerely,
Greg Bosak |
