A very sad loss for the area !
I agree. I lived near Grove City for several years and visited the shop many times. Quite a few of the holiday and birthday gifts that I've given, as well as those that I've received, came from Wendell August. I really hope they can rebuild and continue the proud tradition of the company.
It's a real shame. I hope they can overcome and rebuild. Thank goodness no one died.
