I have to say it is so nice to hear a dealership talked about in a positive way, looking forward to doing business with them.

 

They have moved to a new place on the north end of town up by Ohme Gardens. I think they still have plans to build a new place but don't know when that will happen.

 

Not sure about the Lewiston store, but Lone Wolf bought the inventory of the Spokane store, but Shumate never owned the building so Lone Wolf cant open that store unless a deal is worked out with Latus who actually owns the building in Spokane. They did however get the rights from Harley Davidson to sell in Spoknae.

 

I was at the Lone Wolf Store in Coeur d'Alene today and they announced they had bought the Spokane and Lewiston Store. Don't know when they will open, but have heard sometime in the fall.

 

I heard today that Lone Wolf had bought Shumate's inventory and territory sales but had no plans to open a Spokane location. Looks like the Coeur d'Alene store will be the only one in the Spokane area.

As an aside: Rode out to the Renegade store on N. Market in Spokane today. Big selection of leathers, helmets, patches and other biker related stuff. Awfully nice people too. First time I've been there.

 

Yeah. Lone Wolf doesn't have a building in Spokane yet. Shumate did not own the property on Trent. Latus still owns it. They need to hire some more people as they are overwhelmed and swamped in the service dept. Tried to get a security programmed and they were 3 weeks out, and the women was stressed out.

Wed I did another trip out to Seattle, only this time I went highway 2 and stopped and said hello to Mark in Wenatchee. He told me they are still building the new store and their current location might be used as the metric store.

 

No plans yet heard of for the Kennewick Store. Heard that there are no buyers because the buyer would have to assume $6 million debt to do so.

 

Looks like they may have worked out a deal on the building in Spokane.

Spokane dealership shoild be open by end of month.Lewiston shortly thereafter

 

Word on the street is that sale of Shumate's Kennewick H-D dealership has gone through, and that the new owner is interested in re-opening in the same location this Fall. Haven't been able to confirm that, however.
