Without a doubt the closures had an impact upon their business, although I don't think it was a straw that broke their back.
One or two soft seasons, like this economy is bringing to us, can destroy a seasonal business in a nano-second.Add on to that maybe some wrong business decisions, or over-extending, and you are done. Sad news for the owners and workers none the less.
A couple of folks with very good experience/success on the Outer Cape in this type of business are trying to purchase the whole thing, but the price and the banks views on credit are making it difficult - hopefully for all it will become a reality.
