I found this out when I tried to go on their site the other day. Apparently Miracle-Grow or someone bought them out - too much leveraged debt to survive in the economy?

Too bad...they had some nice things although I didn’t shop there a lot.

Get ready for more of this. I sell software to the retail industry, they are getting killed this year. Expect to see many store closings, mall closings, etc. Consumers are going to be very surprised when their neighborhood retail stores start going under.

This is about 4 day old news, but I could not find it on a search. If it has already been posted, feel free to pull.

I’m not surprised they are going out of business. For having such a high end line of tools, at one time, to start selling at Target, indicated they were in trouble.

The enlightened, Obama-voting commies at Smith and Hawken are going TU??

Wonder how those conservative voting neanderthals at Smith and Wesson are doing these days?

The nurseries near me are ghost towns, hard to see how they can stay in business.

What a shame. I have an excellent hoe, and set of garden hand tools I purchased there. Heavy weight, durable metal and
NOT made in China.
