It was just last month that word got out that the once hustling and bustling Bangor Mall was in hot water, again, with the City of Bangor. It got to the point that many stores inside the facility had shut down as parts of the building were closed off and deemed by Code Enforcement as uninhabitable.

While Bangor Mall owners Namdar Realty Group face fines from the City, other businesses attached to the building have most surely been questioning their future, the two major ones being Dick's Sporting Goods and Furniture, Mattresses, and More.

Kathy Harvey, the local owner of Furniture, Mattresses and More, moved into the old Macy's storefront connected to the Bangor Mall in the summer of 2018.

She's been an active member of the community since then, organizing a popular craft fair at the mall for the past few years. She also owns Deep Dish Cookies in the mall.

Harvey says she's retiring from the furniture business after being made an unexpected offer by an out-of-state retailer (she can't name who yet) to buy the business.

While she plans to close the store at some point soon, she wants to sell off as much of the merchandise as she can first, rather than have to move it.

So starting this weekend, on Saturday, and until it's all gone, she's got the entire store marked down by 50%.

Harvey says she wants people to know that this is a good move for not only her but for the community, as well, as they will have a great new business moving into the area.

Harvey says she still plans to run the cookie company and organize the craft show, within the mall, so folks can expect to see those two entities remain local.
