Sorrow card for losing Hallmark

As any of us who faithfully shop at the Marysville Hallmark know, March 17 will be their final day! What a shock to drive up to the store a couple of weeks ago and realize they are heading out of business. What a shame to see another local business have to close its doors because of lack of business and, I’m assuming, a high rent for their space.

Now our nearest Hallmark store is in the Everett Mall. We must support these small, local businesses if we want them to stay around. Drop in to tell the good people at the Marysville Hallmark goodbye and good luck as more people will join the ranks of the unemployed.
