No real second story. We did well with our customers and came close to giving away things at times to keep happy customers. But generally you will find that after a customer has all of his basic gear he doesn’t make large ticket purchases. Frequently we were finding ourselves to be a "I want to try it on before I buy it off the internet kind of place" and then a "It doesn’t work like it should can’t ya’ll fix it" place. There are no business models for sustaining in that kind of economy. You have to generate new customers that are willing to shop with you and in our area the economy is not all that good. Just a good business decision but a sad one in closing.
