Dearborn-ites are the cheapest individuals I have ever encountered. I don’t care what the card prices were…the employees at Dee’s were some of the friendliest women I have encountered during my eight year tenure in Dearborn. They were sweet, helpful and most importantly welcoming to me and my two small children who frequented the store often. More than I can say for many of the other “crap” Dearborn businesses and rude and unfriendly citizens for that matter. I will miss them. Try to find the same kind faces at the dollar store…doubt it. Seriously doubt that you will find it at a “Goodwill” store either. This town is going down hill faster than a sled with olive oil sprayed on the bottom on a snowy day. I am SO ready to move on and get out of this developing landfill. Donna…no comment necessary. I’m sure you have one brewing up.

I’m sorry the store is now gone. They held on for a long time. But, I also think Hallmark has screwed store owners for years by also doing business with big-name stores and having a line of their cards in those stores. Hallmark may have “justified” it by telling store owners the big-name deals were limited and consumers would know better. The reality is that Halmark’s consumer base wants to stick with the Hallmark name, but they’re not locked into going into Hallmark-named stores. So, the closings of many (including Metro Detroit area) comes as no surprise. I feel for owners of Hallmark stores. And I wish them well, and this includes Don and Dee Belcher.

I get my cards at the dollar store or make them myself on the computer. As for the resin or plastic brick-a-brack, I threw three garbage bags of it away this weekend and told my wife that burglars must have gotten it. I told her a lot of people must really love that stuff since that’s all they took.

If you sell goods or services that people want to buy for a price they’re willing to pay…..they’ll buy it.

“ACO, 2 Cards for a Buck!…enough said ” Great hardware store, add the cards to the cereal, candybars, chips and fudge. If ACO ever leaves no one should mourn its loss. Go to Studtz on Telegraph and find a real haedware store.

What a shame, another retail store closing and it appears that paid parking had a lot to do with their decision.

I wish the Belcher’s good luck and much happiness in their retirement. Sorry to see you go.
