You seem to be getting personally offended by someone suggesting an established crafts store doesn't need to be positioned as a financial asset – you might be projecting a bit with the "holier than though" comment.

Dude's going through the entire thread stumping for checks notes the people who ruin craft stores. Amazing.

It was big box stores like Joann's that ruined craft stores and killed Main Street by leveraging economies of scale and real estate speculation to undermine local players.

I'm not shedding a tear for a badly managed big box chain now that local boutique shops now have greater breathing room.
