2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,080

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: for shoppers in newberry Port for decades, but now with

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: the building's sold, the store is selling off inventory before

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: closing before the end of the year. Store manager Jess

Speaker 1: Petitz says customers have been devastated by the news the

00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,320

Speaker 1: businesses over shopping online.

15
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,000

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: fabric and touch the clothes and know what I'm buying.

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000

00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: the direction of computers.

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,240
