I read in past publications that Hackett's wanted to buy WiseBuys... "Also approved at the meeting was the assumption of an economic development loan. In June 2005, Wisebuys Stores was given a $100,000 loan. The Patrick Hackett Hardware Company wants to buy Wisebuys Stores and assume the remaining $77,731 on the loan." <A HREF="http://www.capitalcentral.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17312982&BRD=1709&PAG=461&dept_id=688.." target="_blank">http://www.capitalcentral.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17312982&BRD=1709&PAG=461&dept_id=688...</A>. Another article from 11-3-06: "Sale of WiseBuys stores to Hacketts still in talks." <A HREF="http://www.wisebuysstores.com/news/Watertown_Daily_11-03-06.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.wisebuysstores.com/news/Watertown_Daily_11-03-06.pdf</A> Who knows how much money the Hackett family has or how much it's store produces in revenues, but we know they are ready to expand.
