Hi,
I am curious if anyone knows of any LNS's that may be going out of business
and is looking for someone to buy their inventory. My mother used to own
her own shop in the mid-80's and is now looking at wanting to open her own
shop once again. I mentioned to her that it may be easier to start this
time around if she was able to purchase an existing inventory to get her
started. She (although she is thinking we), would like to include all types
of needlework, not just cross stitch. Needlepoint, yarns for knitting,
crocheting, and everything in between with cross stitch being a large part
of her inventory.
Does anyone have any advice on where to look to get started? The Needlearts
have come along way since the 80's. But we really don't have anything
locally in our area. The closest LNS is an hour away.
Thanks so much if you can help.

What I have seen noted on other XS-related boards here or there is that
sometimes liquidating large lot auctions occur on Ebay. Some
individuals are in the process of closing out the LNS or have already
done so (still having stock left over).
I couldn't guess on search parameters, but it is something to keep an
eye out for...

I don't know if it's too late or not to contact these folks, but 2 shops
recently closed down in Cincinnati, Twisted Threads and Creative Cottage,
and one in Wayneville, Scarlet Thistle. It might be worthwhile to try and
contact them. Good luck!

Mine is closing :) Cross stitch supplies and the entire shop is marked under
wholesale prices. So she could get a good bargain! I put everything left on
the site in the shopping cart yesterday and came up with a total of $761.15.
It's roughly $1400 worth at wholesale prices!
