Life is not so good
Looks like the "Life is Good" store on McFarlane is closing. The whole store is on sale - 2 for 1.

If you're keeping score, I guess that's Irreverent Vulgarity - 1, Blinkered, Pointless Optimism - 0, since the store next door seems to be doing well. That reminds me that I need to stop by and pick up the "Who the F--- is D&G T-shirt?"
I picked up some shirts for Christmas gifts and some other things for friends. Good prices. I'm sorry to see them go. Sensible clothing, mellow corporate culture. Guess it was a bad location for them.
Sadly for the local community, that landlord's business model is to rent his units at high prices that attract very few people who know what their doing. And, get them to sign a personal guarantee.
Then, once they fail, which is inevitable at those rents, he always finds another sucker and collects the guarantee. Profitable? Yes. Good for the community? No.
Anonymous 10:04. It's a business. Not a religious cause. That's why businesses make profits... they take risks. In this case, didn't work out.
I had no clue that the store even existed. If a store can't even invest in sending a few postcards to the surrounding zip codes... which can be bought in bulk, they can't really expect anyone to even know they are there.
Traffic, whether on foot or drive-by is not nearly enough.
Well, that makes sense considering the homeless issue we have all along McFarlane Road thanks in part to St. Stephen's Church feeding them straight from the church playground. Their enabling ha caused a complete downturn of our business center on that street on both sides. They invade Starbucks out back, and the pizza place, etc. It's a wonder why the city has not asked the church to reocated their feeding station.
