WILLOW GLEN, Calif.—After 16 years of building relations with customers in a small district of San Jose, Carole Demkowski is relocating her Three Sisters antique store to the neighboring city of Campbell, citing increased rent and decreased foot traffic.
“It’s been real bittersweet,” Ms. Demkowski told NTD, a sister media of The Epoch Times. “I’ve watched children who’ve grown up into young adults, that bought maybe a purse or necklace and still used it when they went to their senior prom.”
