Fabricplace was one of those businesses that you took for granted would be there if you needed anything in the way of sewing, window treatments, or uphoulstery.  Oh what a fabric selection, and wouldn’t you like to dress as a bride again when seeing the bridal accessories?

After recently celebrating its 60th year in business, it was a shock to hear that it was closing.

When we visited at the end of October, most of the shelves were bare and many of the fixtures were sold. 

At least some small area businesses may have benefited by being able to buy some display racks at discounted prices.

Now there is an empty parking lot, locked doors, and “Going Out of Business Signs” in the windows.
