At any rate, I hope that Meghan and her Mom do well.
This is what I had gleaned from discussions as well. The Weirs location couldn't really support a proper full-time income for either of them and was almost done as a "service" to the area to keep people employed. When they moved to the new location they brought in a business partner and then got out of the arrangement altogether. The new owners then basically rode it into the ground.
