BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The owners of a longtime Bakersfield fabric store announced they may close after four decades in business.

F&M Fabrics owners say ongoing health challenges have made it increasingly difficult to continue running the business, prompting the difficult decision to close.

However, the owners are actively looking for a potential buyer who could keep F&M Fabrics open under new ownership.

The owners thanked customers for their support, loyalty and friendship over the past 40 years and say they will keep the community updated.
