great, another retail casualty. honestly not surprised tho, the linwood one was always dead
facts, the linwood one was like a ghost town every time i went
88 years and thats how it ends? what a load of shit. online only means my nana who cant use a computer is screwed
i know right? my grandma is devastated, she doesn't even own a smartphone
oh no, where will i get my overpriced fabric now??
lol true, but some of us actually want to touch the fabric before buying...

honestly, craft stores are dying cos everyone just buys from spotlight or trademe. feel for the workers though, 50 jobs gone in nz is rough
hope so too, mate. companies just don't care about loyalty anymore
worked at the riccarton one for a year. management was a mess, no surprise here. hope the staff land on their feet
such a shame for the staff. my neighbour works there, shes gutted 😢
cope harder, online is the future. adapt or die
ffs another one. we're just becoming a country of empty shops and online monopolies
yeah nah get stuffed. they probably got greedy with rent hikes and now blame the market
tbh online is cheaper and easier, but sucks for the social aspect of craft groups meeting in store
watch spotlight probably buy them out and kill the brand completely
and then they'll jack up prices cos no competition. great
