When I drove past the Lowell Feed Store last Saturday on my way to Meijer (regional grocery chain), the sign out front said that they were closed and thanked everyone for their support.

This surprised me as they always seemed to be busy.  In fact, I was just in there a couple of weeks back buying 50 pounds of sunflower seeds.  And, since I personally know the owner, I thought that he would have mentioned the closing to me.

I hope all is well with the family.
