Another small business is closing up shop thanks to the changing marketplace. I know many people are sad to see this place go. Shopping local really makes a difference, folks.
Here’s a message the owners posted on Facebook:
This is a letter that none of us wanted to write, but the time has come to let our loyal customers know what is happening to Baynesville Electronics. As of October 1st, we will be liquidating our stock and preparing to close our doors on or before the end of the year.
For 61 years, it’s been our pleasure for Baynesville Electronics to serve the generations of families that have come through our doors. These families, as well as, our loyal customers have allowed us to thrive these past years in this wonderful community.
Although we have tried to keep up with the changes in our industry and retail sales in general, we have been unable to continue to keep ourselves profitable.
It is our hope that you understand and ask that you wish our employees the best with their future plans.
From Our Family to Yours…
Thank you for allowing us to serve you!
They are always so competent and helpful. I never missed Radio Shack. Baynesville helped me from the 60’s, thru the 90’s. Then digital electronics became more reliable and more complicated. (Automobiles are more complicated too.) I often can’t DYI anymore. Baynesville will be missed.
That’s a major part of the Joppa stretch now undergoing renovations and changes. I wonder what will become of this landmark.
