Haven't been to Hendersonville's Main Street in a while? Businesses are closing at an alarming rate.
That being said, there are many reasons businesses close: owners divorce, the final straw in a string of poor management decisions, new building owners with a different vision, lack of aggressive or exciting marketing, etc. Of course, with the economy we have today, improving as it may be, any business without a large enough cash reserve can easily get in to trouble.
Unverified by myself (verification to follow), but checked by a friend on Main Street, Picasso's (242 North Main Street) has closed.

Mountain Lore Books and More (408 North Main Street) is closing in a few days. This is an extremely tough time for independent book stores.


Of note to art and craft lovers, Revolving Arts Gallery's last day at their current location (511 North Main Street) will be Christmas Eve. They expect to reopen at another location still to be determined.

And, as reported on Hendersonville Epicurean here, Savannah's Tea Room & Cafe will be closing this month.

Portobello A Marketplace (530 North Main Street) closed in the last month or so. Neither their space or the empty space previously occupied by La Reserva (342 N. Main Street) has been leased.
Lastly, there's a rumor circulating, still not firm enough to mention, that another much loved eatery will be closing. All body parts are crossed in the hope that this DOES NOT happen! I'll keep you posted on this one.
Moral of the story: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES OR THEY WON'T BE
