After many years of operation at 22 S. Euclid, Bruce Shoults, proprietor of The Great Frame Up/Relish Cards & Gifts is closing the Central West End location this Friday.
When I stopped in over the holidays, Shoults said it was only a matter of time before he closed the store. He said online shopping, specifically Amazon, had taken its toll on the retail side of his business (Relish Cards and Gifts). The shop is now too big and the rent too high. In addition, Shoults said, “there is the RELENTLESS construction in the area,” which has contributed to the loss of business.
Shouts is hoping his CWE customers will find their way to the Great Frame Up location at 31 Allen Avenue in Webster Groves for future framing needs.
As you can see on the sign, everything is 50% off. Sadly, the last day is Friday, February 10.
