I just learned today that Beaver Woodworking in Brockton MA is closing it's doors. I didn't spend as much time there as I'd have liked as their hours were tough for me but it was a good place to get supplies the times I did go.
Makes me sad when a local place closes it's doors.
Another one bites the dust. Sad.
I'm sure there is some science to the hours that places stay open but, like John, I find the places around me seem to be open business hours when most of us are at work. If you are selling mostly to contractors like a lumber yard, then this makes sense. The few hundred board feet of walnut I would buy on Sunday doesn't pay them to stay open so, I take my business out of town about once a month. But, a tool, hardware and accessory place like a Rockler opening late and closing early on the weekends? I don't get it. I am sad to see Beaver or any other outfit go out.
