ROYERSFORD — Just short of 64 years as a fixture of the borough’s downtown business district, Lebow Furniture Co. will liquidate its stock and close for good as soon as next week.

“The past couple of years, the economy has really put it on us,” said Susan Lebow, the store’s vice president. “Expenses have continued to increase. As a family, we just had to sit down and decide we couldn’t continue on the way things have been going.”

The store, which was in the Lebow family since 1949, was closed this week and a letter was posted on the official website.
