Oregon Garden Center Closes

Gray’s Garden Center in Eugene, Ore., closed its doors in December and is not expected to open again anytime soon, according to a report in The Register-Guard.

Owners James and Liz Kline have had documented financial troubles since purchasing the business in 2007, but they hoped for Chapter 11 reorganization in bankruptcy court. A judge, however, has recently changed the case status to Chapter 7 liquidation.

A sign on the door at Gray’s Garden Center tells customers it will reopen Jan. 20, but unless the store can find a new owner quickly, this will not happen.

Records in the case show a net loss for the business of over $200,000 for the previous year.
