Some of you may have already heard, but Hog Heaven Hobbies in the Sturbridge area will be closing its doors this summer. It was one of the few fully stocked hobby shops in our area and will be sorely missed. Their email announcement reads:
Friends and Customers,
After 32 years owning Hog Heaven Hobbies I will retire and cease brick-and-mortar operations on 17 July 2025. To that end, we will have a Retirement / Store Closing Sale between 24 May 2025 – 17 July 2025.
The sale will include only in-stock items. Obviously the earlier you shop, the better the selection will be. Prices on consignment items will not be reduced.
I will accept last-minute special orders as long as they will arrive at the store before 15 July 2025. These orders will be accepted if paid in advance and will sell at normal retail prices. Other than special-orders I will not replace or acquire any new merchandise.
The internet business will remain viable.
Loyalty points will be usable until 17 July 2025.
Gift certificates will be valid until 17 July 2025.
If you have items on consignment at Hog Heaven, please retrieve them before 17 July. If you’ve sold consignment items and haven’t picked up your money, please do so before 17 July.
Hog Heaven will be closed Memorial Day 26 May and Independence Day 4 July.
Thank you for your support. It’s been an honor to support your endeavors and I hope we’ll see each other at the flying field.
Jean and John
