Longtime Bellingham retailers ready to retire

Two people who have had a huge impact on downtown retail have decided to retire and are selling their 44-year-old store.

Chris Foss and Foster Rose have started looking for a new owner to take over Greenhouse, their home furnishings store at 1235 Cornwall Ave. They hope to find a buyer who will bring new skill sets to the business but also maintain the basic philosophy of having products that customers ask for.
