Was always amazed at the large inventory they kept. At least it seemed that way.

His inventory was over $600K at times and that was just too much to carry. It's a tough business and Wakefield is tough. I would go there to spend a bit of cash at a local shop(w/ you, too, Joe, actually) but the overhead was just to much to manage, I guess. Bob was also a great guy and helped make me a loyal customer. He's at Ocean State now, though I haven't been in there.

Most of those people don't even notice when they have to pay taxes.
Nor do they care about gas pump prices. |

sounds like you don't know many of "those" people. Trust me they do notice. The first things they cut are landscapers, car washes, housekeepers, frivilous goods etc. Who suffers in the end?
Look at Joes posts, who do you think shops in Wickford? If they don't notice, why are they no longer spending the $$$????? |

There's a lot of things going on there. It's more about competition, gas prices, increasing costs, and the internet - which has essentially changed the notion of what truly constitutes a "niche" business. Providence Place Mall, the revitalization of Garden City, and the rise of Barrington and Bristol as shopping destinations took a lot of business away from the village.
