Lucky Silver Will Be Missed
For those of you who enjoyed shopping for locally made jewelry at Lucky Silver, your last chance to get a good deal is this Saturday.
Amanda Martin, the shop's owner, is closing her shop's doors for the final time this weekend.
Lucky Silver is tucked away on Pine Street, a side street that is not well-traveled. Ms. Martin describes this as one of the reasons why she
has decided to close her shop. "Not many people walk or drive down this side street, so we have fewer customers than similar businesses on Main
Street."
Ms. Martin says that she's maintained competitive prices and employs good business practices, but it has not been enough to keep her
store afloat. "My employees really enjoy working here. I hope they are able to find new jobs quickly," she stated.
