Are Hobby Stores all closing down in your Area??

Guess i'm blessed where i live. 4 train stores within a half an hour of me. uncle rays to the north in sheffield lake, depot train and hobby in cleveland, ormandys in medina, and stockyard express in oberlin, Ohio. 2 other hobby stores within 5 minutes of me. One just slot cars and other is mostly rc cars and trucks

Pretty much so - drive 80+ miles to one 2 states away that's 1/2 out of stock of the supplies that I'm looking for.....so doubly noncompetitive.

Used to visit 4 stores up in the valley, they are all gone now. I now have to drive to Tucson from Casa Grande since the only thing I have in town is a craft store (Micheal's),

@Darrell, what store are you visiting in Tucson? I haven't been down there in a bit, but the only one I knew of was the one connected to the Ace Hardware. Is that the one you are going to?

I think that's the one, its been a while since I went there last.

In Waco, Tx the last one closed about 2 years ago.  It was partially trains along with model aircraft and was a storefront in a small strip mall.  Just disappeared one day with little notice or fanfare.  Not replaced.

Never had one to begin with in this Town! The Town 45 Miles away still has A Hobby Shop !!
