Stahmanns Farms To Close Country Store & End Online Sales

This is really sad to see happen because stopping by the Stahmanns Farms Country Store to buy pecans and eat their awesome ice cream is something my family really enjoyed doing:

– If you want to buy a Stahmanns Farms gift basket — or a can of milk chocolate pecans or roasted, salted pecans, etc. — as a Mother’s Day gift, you’ll have to hurry.

After three decades in the retail business, Stahmanns Farms has closed its world-wide mail-order business and shut down its website.

Now the company has announced that it is closing both of its stores — one at 2030 Calle De Parian near the Mesilla Plaza and the other, the original “Country Store,” on Highway 28 in La Mesa.

Once the merchandise, which is marked down, runs out, the stores will close, which should take about a month, manager Eva Valerio said.

The company, which dates back to 1932, reports that its shelling plant and wholesale business will continue.

In addition to the stores, the company will close its candy factory. The moves will affect 29 employees, for whom Valerio said the company will try to find other positions.  [El Paso Times]
