BS&T closed mid-1990s


It was killed by poorly planned expansion. They opened a store in downtown Roanoke in the late 80s that was a bottomless money pit, things were never the same after that. The owner sold the Roanoke location at some point but the buyer couldn't save it, and eventually the bank (or maybe the VA tax authorities) padlocked the Blacksburg store. I was gone by then, but had some friends who were there til the bitter end. I'm still in touch with a lot of my old coworkers from there, it was a fun gig for a while.
