One large reason that the Jojo store was so successful was that there was an owner - a real person or persons. Oversight or management is crucial to the success of any endeavor. Good management that is.
Since there is no one owner of Heaths what will the management or oversight of JoJo's be?
Sadly, I forsee a potential decline of goods quality in the future of JoJos. I doubt that the Heaths consortium will hire and pay for a good manager. Heaths consortium does not have a good record in satellite stores. Grocery store in Meredith - gone. Hardware store in Meredith - gone. Stores in Ossipee - gone.
I do hope that Heaths can pull this one off and to keep JoJos the great market that it is.
