John 3:16

I agree with Robin, you should not feel bad.
We all hate to see our friends go out of business, but it is life. Like JC said nothing can be done. You have done the shop and the people here a service just by letting them know. It could be that someone has not been to the shop in a year or so and would like to say good bye. Kindness and well meaning gestures should never make you feel badly.
