Another store is biting the dust. Scrap Tales in Brighton is having a going out of business sale which started May 1. The first week was by invitation only for loyal shoppers. Of course, I had to go. It was only 20% off at this time but I was able to get full packs of neutral card stock from Bazzill-25 to 50 sheets per package for 10-14 bucks. I stocked up on some single sheets too as I love the earthy pumpkins and browns.
They will be announcing the sale in the papers and on the radio this week. I have no idea if they tried to sell the business as the owner said the store was fine financially but she wanted to move on after 7 years. Honestly, I thought this and the Zone would be the only two left as they were the best stocked and were fun to visit. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by as Scrap Tales will be open thru the end of June. A lot of stock was moving fast at 20% off but other than card stock and Penny Black stickers, I held back. I may go back at 40-50 off later in the month. I have my eye on some stamps but need a better discount to follow thru.

I also went to the Zone for National Scrapbook Day and got some fun stuff but never did get to do the Make and Takes-this place was hopping! I had my name on the list but ended up leaving when the line never budged. Oh well, I forgot my scissors anyways. I found a wonderful new paper company called GCD Studios. Double sided and textured!
Now this may be here say, but I think the Scrapbook Station in Fenton is close to going under, too. I stopped to use my full punch card and they aren't accepting them anymore. There was nothing really new in the store since the winter holidays either. The owner was not there and I didn't feel comfortable breaching the topic with the clerk who kept bugging me anyways. I never get store notices anymore and there were so many empty shelves that a year ago were full. I was the only one in the store on NSD. Pretty bad.

ReplyDeleteOh no! Sorry to hear another store is closing there and that others may be as well :( I guess now is the time to stock up though, with all those sales ^_~ Hopefully that scrapbook station is just trying to get rid of lots of old stuff to bring in the new!
ReplyDeleteOur Hobby Lobby is going out of business. This week everything was 50% off. I am REALLY going to miss that store.
