By Steve Hoffman | May 20, 1993

Brewster's to close

By Yvonne Chiu | May 19, 1993

Only one year after their opening, two major Main Street retail stores will close. The two stores, Brewster's, a retail clothing store, and Eleazar's Museum Shop, a high-priced novelty shop, are in Hanover's best retail shopping space on South Main Street attached to the Hanover Inn. Eugene Kohn, who is a part owner and spokesman for the shops, said they are closing because of the region's difficult economic climate. Kohn and other officers of the Lang Retail Corporation, which owns both stores, spent the last two months unsuccessfully searching for more partners and additional capital. "The general economic condition in New Hampshire is just not healthy enough to attract the risk capital necessary to allow us to fund the slow start of these new retail stores," Kohn said. The stores are currently closed for inventory.
