Eastern Maine Medical Center's gift shops will be changing hands soon.
For decades they've been run by the auxiliary of the hospital, but will now be taken over by a company called Lori's Gifts, which helps supply and run gift shops across the country.
Auxiliary staff say the move is the result of greater financial burdens that have surfaced in recent years.
"I think that as with many local businesses the economy has been a tough, a tough row over the last couple of years and we just decided that we needed to make a change."
Right now, everything in the hospital's stores on State Street in Bangor and Whiting Hill Road in Brewer is 25% off.
The sale will last until the end of September.
The stores will then close for a week and reopen under Lori's Gifts.
