Three Birdies Fight to Stay Open

0:00It's April 1st. This is Kansas News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A boutique in Carnegie, Missouri, called Three Burdies, is fighting to stay open. Owners Stacey Linder owes the city $20,000 in back taxes due by this Thursday, or they lose their sales license and shut down. The family launched the shop back in 2020 and it's grown fast to two locations. Linder says she missed this one expense until the city flagged it. No warnings, just a hard deadline. Now the community's all in, rallying hard after her social media plea. Shoppers are flooding in, boosting sales and getting them halfway to the goal already. Folks keep saying they love the store and will do whatever it takes to save it. That supports turning a crisis into real momentum. With Thursday closing in, this small business heartbeat shows how locals got each other's backs when it counts.
