Sleepy's Closes in North AdamsStaff Reports, 03:26PM / Tuesday, August 27, 2013 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — One of the business questions downtown has been "how long can Sleepy's survive here?"
Turns out about six years.
The Sleepy's mattress store that's anchored the corner of the L-shaped mall since about 2007 has closed up. This all apparently happened on Tuesday morning.
A sign on the door informs patrons that there is a Sleepy's showroom at 555 Hubbard Ave., otherwise known as Berkshire Crossing, in Pittsfield.
There are also Sleepy's in Greenfield, the Springfield area and in Manchester, Vt.
A Brooks Pharmacy had previously occupied the corner space.
