Default My local Harley store closed it's doors Saturday

My local Harley store closed it's doors Saturday without any warning. Actually, 2 stores closed owned by the same family.

Both in New Jersey, Millville and Wildwood.
Owner said the economy has been kicking his *** for too long now.
Hard to believe.

according to the newspaper they called customers with bikes in the shop and said to pick them up Saturday. The store was closed, but, allowed people to get their bikes.
They didn't warn employees or customers buying shop specific gift certificates...

They just had a big party at the Wildwood store couple of weeks ago.

sad, especially for the employees who got canned without warning..

That story made the news on Tv in Philadelphia. They had news crews at both locations, talking with customers. One guy had his bike in for crash repairs and found the doors locked at the dealer.

I've becomes friendly with them, owners a great guy busts his ****.

I wasn't ever crazy about the Elmer store, that's the next closest.

I liked the Millville store too.
