One of the oldest businesses in San Luis Obispo County is set to close next month.
The Halcyon Store Post Office has been in the community for 113 years, but now the mother-daughter duo in charge of the business have to close.
The closure was not induced by the pandemic but brought about when the owners got a surprise 60-day notice from their landlord.
The store is woven into the fabric of the community and serves as a staple for many. It s always been so peaceful here, co-owner Sandra Strohman said. Somebody told me the other day that it s like walking in and getting a hug.
