Boxcar Bettys closing its doors
Eco-friendly store, Boxcar Bettys Eco Depot, will be going out of business as of Dec. 31.
Store owner June Beck originally opened her downtown shop, which features everything from Fairtrade home décor to recycled auto parts, at 103 E. Main St., in 2010. She moved her store to its current location at 101 E. Courthouse Square earlier this year.
I had a great first year and a half, but I just couldnt survive all the digging, she said. Its been fun and I really have enjoyed it. It was agony making the decision to close. Finally, when I made it, I thought to myself, Well, youve just got to suck it up and get it done.
Almost everything will go, she said, including inventory, most of the displays and other fixtures.
Beck, who has a background in healthcare, says she will likely return to that field after closing the store.
