Instead of speculating or believing rumors, some of you should contact Larry directly and discuss the issue. Then again, he doesn't really have time to deal with drama considering he has a fully stocked store to sell out by the end of the month. Got some great deals there last week. Thank you Train Express.
I talked in depth with him about it last week and I can tell you that none of you are correct in your 'predictions' of why they are closing the store.
Once again, it surprises me how quickly everyone 'knows' the reason for this. What hasn't been mentioned is they were in business for over 40 years, survived a fire in the 90s, and was one of the Midwest's best train stores!
It's a loss to our hobby this shop is closing!
