Small Town Store Hit Hard By The Economy

There has been a general store in the York County town of West Newfield since the 18-hundreds. But the West Newfield General Store will close next week unless the owners can find the money to keep it open.

I am a local and find this whole thing to be a little ridiculous. I think before anyone cries for help they cut costs where possible, in this case it would be working the business themselves. Another way is to have spouse actually get a full time job to help with other living expenses that would leave the store income to pay for store expenses. How about being honest about the amount of time the owners actually do spend there! why in this predicament do they still have employees? If money is so tight why is large sums of money being spent at other local establishments on lottery tickets? There are people out there that have lost their jobs of no doing of their own that are losing their homes, why is noone picking up them???? there are so many ways this business could have made it if only ambition was involved.
