While I will not say that had no affect on Weaver......doubt it really is the reason, or even ONE of the reasons they are closing.

It's two different markets.

I may get deleted and/or blasted here......but it may have more to do with the THOUSANDS of regulations for small business that have been added in the last 6 years. More new regulations in the last 6 than in the last 40 years.....it is strangulating small business but really impacts ANY biz that manufactures and paints products in the USA. Don't take my word...search for yourself.

Google 'flower grower jailed' to start.....

Thanks for what you did for the hobby Weaver!!!!! Miss ya for sure....
