ANST - Tandy Leather Closing

[Gary Koehler]

hmmm my husband and I were in the store in Austin yesterday and I asked them
how much longer their store would be open and he told me until June?? hmmm
makes you wonder what's really going on....although 20 -70% savings were not
really storewide..(most of those items were craft items and not leather) I
guess we shall see.. In the meantime thank you Gilli for the numbers to the
other leather stores...do they have catalogs???

press release for 1/8/99 entitled, "Tandycrafts Announces Plan to Close
Leather and Crafts Retail Stores")

>This does not mean that every store will go out of business -- I called the
manager of Austin's Tandy Leathercrafts and he is planning on purchasing the
store and continuing to run it as he has been doing overthe past several
years -- his store is one of the ones that does make a profit.  It is
expected, Tandy offices in Ft Worth say, that a good many of the retail
outlets will be purchased by their current managers or by third parties and
will continue in operation as usual, selling the same Tandy leather
>supplies.  Amazing what you can find out by calling.
