"OK I would like to say that I am so upset over this. This store was a staple for the Northeast. Now they are moving up over Bustleton Ave. What will become of this store. Let alone all of the other vacent store alone that small strip on Cottman Ave.

Why are they moving?

Isn't this St. Jude Shop different that the one on Castor Ave. in that this one is owned by the church? Or all proceeds to directly to the church?
I thought I heard that the one on Castor and the one up in Neshaminy are privately owned stores. One is called the St. Jude Store the other called the St. Jude Shop. ??

They needed a bigger place with better parking.

The Mayfair store and the Neshaminy store have the same owners and I don't think the church has anything to with the business.

Unhappy I'll GET YA THE DIRT

DM, I can find out the skinny on that directly for you if you want.

Now Jingo Guy is going to have to go over to Bustleton Avenue? He collects Holy Cards.

I know it is upsetting though as that place was there forever. Their stock started depleting years ago, and I had wondered about that. I'll ask.

I like the Neshaminy store but I have to say I always enjoyed the convenience of the Mayfair location...I am very sorry to see it go.

Unhappy So Far.....

The 411 so far, and this ain't all of it is that a family owns that entire building.
That upstairs apartment also.

Unfortunately that sounds like they probably sold it.

My super sleuth will fill me in direct tomorrow after his yard sale runs. That place was convenient. Is there a Willow Grove location also? Oh, and that is right that they are not connected.

They did sell, it has been for sale for quite some time...it probably wasnt worth it for them to start paying some ridiculous rent when they could move to a place with a parking lot or better parking anyway. The Deli on the corner there is for sale also. Caspers just sold and is being renovated.
Still sucks though. I hope the new owner doesnt force the rental tenants out some of them have been there for years.
