What took you so long? They've always been run by knuckle-dragging bible thumpers.
They've never deserved our business.

Having said that, I don't believe we should be asking "what took you so long"? So much as welcome aboard.
Thanks for the thread, mwrguy.

(8,964 posts)If enough HL customers switch to JoAnn, Michaels, Hancock et al in significant numbers, jobs would also be shifted to those stores in order to accomodate increased customer demand. Whether or not this happens remains to be seen.

They like big stores.
With big parking lots.
