I was told that Russ, who owns the building and use to run the store, increased rent by 25% to try and exploit them due to his knowledge about how the franchise agreements are structured. He figured they were stuck there because of woodcraft franchise agreement and therefore he could jack up the rent without them being able to do anything. Woodcraft made an exception and allowed them to break the agreement and that’s that. When Russ ran the store years ago, he was the sole reason I stopped shopping there because he’s not a good human being (to put it mildly). The new management is excellent and I’m sad to see them go.
