The wonder of Zesto<\/i> is not that one closed, but that any are still open: Each location is like a step into 50 years ago, and we are lucky to still have such portals.<\/p>\n

That said, this location, in Chapin is actually fairly new as such things go, having opened \"only\" 18 years ago. As for the reasons this one closed, WIS quotes the owner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just time for me to have a normal life. Same struggles as all mom-and-pop [stores]. Can\u2019t get decent employees, food cost, etc. Times are changing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is also a State<\/i> story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
