The gift shop and arts & crafts store Handworks of Danville is closing their retail store August 25th (according to an employee I spoke with over the weekend) after 25 years in business. They plan on offering an online shop which you can check out here.
From their Facebook page:
After 25 years, we are closing the retail store in Danville downtown at the end of August.
It has been sure fun but retail is all going online and local stores are all struggling. So we have decided to take Handworks also full online in few months after we close the retail store.
We have everything in the store including all gift items, display units and unique vintage furniture on clearance sale. Everything must go before Aug 20th
so please stop by asap and loadup on amazing gift for all your family and friends.
