When I heard that Crabtree & Evelyn — the go-to place for specialty soaps, body butters, that kinda stuff — has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, my first thought was for Westport.
Some of the 126 Crabtree & Evelyn (pronounced “EVIL-in”) stores in 34 states will close. Would ours survive, or will we soon see a gaping hole in that prime Brooks Corner corner?
I called the local number. A perky voice asked how she could help.
“I’m Dan Woog. I write a blog about Westport. I heard about the bankruptcy, and was wondering if….”
“I can’t comment,” she said sharply. “Thank you.” And then — very thanklessly — she hung up.
I’ll start stockpiling body lotions, foot creams and mousses today.
What’s the number?
Maybe if more of us call, we can get an answer and let 06880 know 😉
221-7725. THANKS for asking!
