In my area LSS come and go all the time. Over the weekend I notice another LSS went missing. I remember this specific LSS was advertised in Creative Keepsakes LSS directory listing. It got me wondering how long a typical LSS can stay in business. I'm not talking about the chains like Archiver's, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc. I guess with all small businesses there is a threshold before the capital runs out. I always thought it had more to do with what services the store offered (e.g. classes, crops, etc.) and not really what they carried that determined if they had "staying" power or not.
