I have to agree that in this case, it probably wasn't the economy. The Old Country Store was always busy. I've been there at various times of the year and they were always doing a brisk business. They appear to have had many loyal customers who didn't hesitate to spend money in their store or through their online business. If you read the articles listed throughout the board, you will see that the owner had other interests for which he most likely used the excess profit from his successful business ventures. While the economy in general has struggled, I don't think this particular store would have gone bankrupt if it stood alone. Then again, who really knows? Maybe more information will be forthcoming.
