Marlborough Bakery Not Leaving Town
I received a phone call from Georgette, the owner of the Marlborough Bakery. She said that she’s been inundated with condolences and discussion about the bakery leaving town, due to the statement made by Bob Elliot at the recent BOF meeting, which I wrote about on this blog.
Georgette wanted to let me know that she is not leaving town, and not going out of business. She’d much rather get back to running her business than clarifying whether she’s leaving town. Therefore, I’m conveying this information to everyone who reads the blog, so that you don’t have ask her about it anymore.
While Georgette said that the sewer “is a mess”, and she doesn’t disagree with Elliot on the effect it’s having on businesses, the Marlborough Bakery is doing just fine and she has no plans on taking it out of town.
We all need to be very careful with the rumours, including landlords.
Nothing can kill a small business faster then “going out of business” rumours.
And we need all the businesses we have, and more in Marlborough.
So, let’s all stop by our Marlborough small businesses and drop a few bucks and show them some love. Glastonbury and Colchester are doing just fine, let’s help our own out.
Well said, Bob. However, Glastonbury and Colchester businesses are not drowning in sewer charges.
