Sudbury loses valued magazine outlet

A favourite magazine source in Sudbury, Ontario, Black Cat Too has closed as the owners, John and Diane Rutherford admit they couldn't sustain the expansion.

According to a story in the NorthernLife.ca, the couple had started Black Cat One in 1982 and Black Cat Too was opened in August 1997 in the former home of Birk’s Jewellers. The second location became what many consider to be Sudbury's foremost newsstand (as well as Cafe Matou) , but it closed last Monday and the Rutherfords are retrenching back to their original location.

“We lament that our decade-long venture, our dream, at Black Cat Too has come to an end... we are financially viable and we remain a vital presence in downtown Sudbury but we have decided to cut back before our dream becomes a nightmare,” said Diane Rutherford. “We are very tired and we have decided to cut back.”
