Dimensions Closing

Have you seen this report yet? I don't buy dimension kits any longer. Yes some kits are cute but the thread and aida is horrid. Still though kits where how I started and I shudder to think of how this will affect people trying cross-stitch. I also wonder about retail stores, Jo-ann's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby- all mostly carry Dimension kits, Will they close their cross-stitch sections down? I remember not too long back they used to have an entire aisle of just charts and now that is gone.
