IF you have good employees and enough customers, there must be a path to keep the business open...of course, this is probably coming up on the slow time for your business BUT.....you have to decide if closing or continuing is the best path for your situation. Moving stuff to a storage place is not really an option.....maybe, if your local town folks have any spin on the ball, you could contact them and describe how many jobs will be lost, etc. Usually, local governments dont give a rat's hiney about business in their jurisdiction.

Body shops are usually the target of the zoning zombies anyway.....maybe you should PM Uncle Bob and ask his advice since he too owned a body shop.
