They're closing cuz they wanna make money renting the space, what else? They're certainly not closing and leaving the space vacant. This will be at a cost of their employees' jobs. Their right but I don't wanna hear they're losing due to anything else other than that they wanna make money off the space. And if that space is vacant their true motive is to sell the building/cash in. Their right to do that, but let's not make them out to be displaced like Clayworks will be.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29599769086136471812017-08-27T19:14:44.989-04:002017-08-27T19:14:44.989-04:00 A tool and die shop and a sheet metal fabrication...
