Sparkes worries that the mining company will not have the same dedication to reasonable prices and personalized inventory that he did. “We may not have everything that they want right off the bat, but we’re working on an inventory and ordering software,” said Hornsby, who added that a mine employee will operate the store. Should the store open within Empire, which is surrounded by a fence and requires gated entry, the store would be open to the public, according to Hornsby. Empire Mining bought and reopened the mine and town in 2016. If the company does not operate the current store, it will open a store in one of the many empty buildings within the enclosure of the company-owned town of Empire, which was temporarily abandoned when the U.S. “There will either be a store or nothing,” said Hornsby. An appraiser looked at the property this week. Empire Mining intends to purchase and operate the building as a store but it is not making any promises, said Hornsby, since the purchase of the store had not yet been negotiated and demolition is possible as well.
