horrible

I think that we are going to close. The sales have been horribly bad. I was told from the landlords and other shop owners that the summer was the peak season, and to hold out. Well, the end of summer is in 2 weeks. It would be a different story if we were even bringing in enough to cover the rent (which is sad). We aren't the only ones that have been slow, the whole downtown has been unusually quiet. It picks up on a weekend for the festivals, but everyone is looking to browse and listen to musicians and not actually purchase anything.

We have been trying to find a new location, but everything that we find isn't realistically in our budget. We can't justify spending a whole lot more for rent when we don't know what the increased traffic and sales can warrant. Everything that is in our price range isn't in much better of a location at all.

I will keep everyone informed.
