Hope everyone's doing well. I think a lot of us are getting snow right now. Everyone in the North East at least.
Anyways, the last dolmar dealer in my area (Lebanon, NH) is closing its doors. There were originally three within about 20 miles, and now there are going to be none. They are liquidating their inventory at cost so there are some good deals and I am going to stop by when I have time (at least to get some mix and b&c oil), but I'm curious--is this happening elsewhere?
It was basically impossible to know that they were where they were...way down below a huge embankment so you couldn't see them from the road. Anytime I was in there they were not doing much business and it was mainly run by some woman who had no idea what she was talking about.
I realize that this is less than optimal for dealer success (between the location and the sales staff), however, have people seen more and more dolmar dealers closing? They have a twitter where they talk about all the new dealers they are opening...I'm wondering if the closing list is at about the same rate?
